The show opens Friday and runs through Aug. 28 for a total of seven performances at the Kalita Humphreys Theater. The play tells the story of two lovers fighting against the world to keep their passion for each other alive.
Mitchell, an up-and-coming actor, and Diane, his agent/producer, pretend to be a couple to avoid negative press about Mitchell’s homosexuality.
The plan works until Mitchell falls for Alex, a young male prostitute, who changes Mitchell’s views about relationships and convinces him to love, much to the dismay of Diane who tries desperately to avoid a scandal.
