THIS IS A PLAY ABOUT BEING GAY Set for 2013 Fresh Fruit Festival, 7/16-21

The 2013 Fresh Fruit Festival will present the World Premiere of THIS IS A PLAY ABOUT BEING GAY written and directed by Teddy Nicholas; assisted directed and stage managed by Alyson Fortner, featuring Cameron M. Burns (Tenement Street Workshop's "Rough Approximations: A Devil Tale"), Ray Campbell (Everywhere Theatre Group's "Flying Snakes in 3D!!!"), Cory Conley (2011 FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award Winner for his play "The More Loving One"), Jen Kwok ("Trade Practices" at HERE Arts Center's Culturemart), and Chris Tyler ("Waiting for Barbara").

In the three-act experimental comedy THIS IS A PLAY ABOUT BEING GAY, Teddy Nicholas explores gay-male identity politics in surprising and hilarious ways, fusing dance, internet hook ups, brunches, breakups and conversion therapy narratives, bringing the audience on a rollercoaster ride of heartfelt honesty and frenetic humor.
