It's All About the (S)ex
Opening August 2025
When Trevor, a struggling playwright in the heart of New York City, discovers his long-time boyfriend's infidelity, he flees the city's chaos for the supposed tranquility of a remote bed and breakfast. Seeking solace and a fresh start, he instead stumbles into an unexpected labyrinth and a charming and enigmatic stranger who sparks a flicker of hope for a new love.
However, Trevor finds himself unable to fully escape the ghost of his past relationship. He dives headfirst into a whirlwind of casual hookups, each encounter more hilariously disastrous and absurd than the last. His quest for Mr. Right quickly descends into a comedic nightmare, awkward encounters, and cringe-worthy mishaps.
As Trevor navigates this chaotic landscape of modern dating, he must confront his own emotional baggage and learn to trust again. Will he break free from the cycle of self-sabotage and embrace the possibility of a genuine connection? Or is he destined to remain lost in the labyrinth, forever chasing fleeting moments of desire?
"It's All About the (S)ex" is a witty and insightful exploration of love, loss, and the search for connection in a world obsessed with instant gratification.

Benny & the Jetts
Opening October 2025
This hilarious and heartwarming play follows three couples – two gay and one lesbian – whose long-term relationships are facing unexpected challenges.
Dan and Brent, together for ten years, have fallen into a comfortable rut. They escape to rekindle the spark.
Benny and Chris are navigating a new open relationship. To spice things up, Benny secretly hires a male escort, but things quickly get out of hand when one escort becomes two! Will their relationship survive Benny's misguided attempts to keep things exciting?
Meanwhile, Kate and Linda struggle to balance their careers with their desire to start a family. Will they be able to find a way to have it all or will they be forced to make a difficult choice?
When a snowstorm forces all three couples to share a cabin in Flagstaff, their individual struggles come to a head, leading to unexpected consequences and forcing them to confront the true nature of their relationships.
With fast, sharp, and humorous dialogue, wonderful comic moments, and many surprises, "Benny & The Jetts" is a must-see!
