SYNOPSIS: Recently-divorced Stephen and his millennial son, Ty, set out on a camping trip to their old stomping grounds in southeastern Texas. As an important family event approaches, father and son attempt to survive the woods, and one another, braving the bears and reckoning with the wilderness of their past. Despite low cell signal and high emotions, these two characters try their best to connect in this timely play that illuminates as it entertains. In this honest and poetic comedy about family, playwright travis tate explores masculinity and queerness through the lens of multi-generational Blackness.
TY: African-American. Male. (Late 20s-30) Queer. Stephen’s younger son. A city kid attempting outdoorsman drag. A bundle of neuroses barely held together by a can-do attitude and a wish to impress and connect with his father. He’s flailing but charming. Smart, funny, trying very hard to be in touch with his emotions. We’re rooting for him.
STEPHEN: Black/African-American. Male. (50s-60s) A father navigating a complicated relationship with his adult son, Ty. Tough, intimidating, and almost military; he demands respect at all times. But he has a good heart and is finally admitting to his mistakes.
