Synopsis
In this short musical, Declan introduces his new boyfriend, Matt, to his mother with whom he has a close relationship; but things don’t go as Matt expects. This production features original songs that bring audience members on a journey through Matt and Declan’s contrasting perspectives on being a gay man in modern day. Declan, Matt, and their relationship embody queer joy, despite the play being in a dark setting, which symbolizes how queer people find joy in spite of living in a world that oppresses queerness.

This short musical is part of St. John’s Shorts Fest. There are three showings of this play on September 10, 12, and 14. Visit https://dreamhausnl.ca/calendar to view all dates.
