Photo Flash: Arouet's THE GENE POOL!
Meet the Grays-an average family. Mira cooks, cleans, wears dresses, is sexually frustrated, and her spouse is a workaholic veterinarian. Their son is almost 18, has a new girlfriend that he wants to lose his virginity with, and is always hungry. The only way in which this family is not conventional is that the parents are lesbians. What happens when their son wants to know who his dad is? The Gene Pool explores the family's relationships and how they are dealing with their mid-life crises, their son's resolution to lose his virginity, and... oh yeah, his question, "Moms, who is my Dad?"
Even though the plot may sound familiar-a movie with a similar theme was released last summer-The Gene Pool was written in 1996 and premiered in 1998 at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre in Washington DC, earning a 1999 Helen Hayes Award Nomination for Outstanding New Play.
