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!
