SAN DIEGO – Diversionary Theatre is bringing the West-Coast Premiere of Tom Donaghy’s chaotic comedy to their 2014 Season. This new year of theater-making will share stories inspired by discovering, maneuvering, and celebrating our unique personal identities in the LGBT community. Boys & Girls is first up to ardently represent this inspired theme.
Join Diversionary this February to meet Bev, Shelly, Reed and Jason – two couples who are attempting to put away their wild pasts in order to tackle the challenges of adulthood. Bev and Shelly, a lesbian couple with multifarious levels to their long-term relationship, have come to the conclusion that their 5-year old son is in need of a father figure. Their best friend Reed quickly becomes the best choice for a role model in this alternative arrangement, and he must decide whether he’d like to take on this responsibility, or continue an unhealthy entanglement with his emotionally wrought ex-boyfriend Jason.
“Audiences can look forward to a new dialogue in LGBT theater. This play addresses the very human transition of growing up and takes for granted that we now have a generation of gay and lesbian people who get to struggle with marriage, children and life out in the open and it’s about damn time,” said Shana Wride, director of Boys & Girls.
