On the evening before a national "Equality Conference," a popular Senator up for re-election attends a meeting with a powerful gay rights organization. This is to be the evening when all the pieces come together; for the Senator's next term and the organization's launch onto the national stage. Everything goes exactly as planned...until it doesn't.

With a cast of seven - including a call-in radio show announcer whose program is designed to generate controversy - and a minimal set, the script examines the potential price of waiting for politicians to evolve, and the ways in which inter-generational conflict eventually leads to a battle over the correct tactics for advancement and/or acceptance. It's the story of a disaffected populace, protest-as-means-of-revolt, and the battle for "second-class citizens" to be treated as equals under the law.

Tickets: $18 at SmartTix.com or at the door.
