Pacific Resident Theatre presents the world premiere production of Alex Peabody's Keeping Faith (One Man's Journey into Motherhood). Written and performed by Peabody, this original play deftly explores the challenges of gay adoption in a world where the definition of family remains firmly pigeonholed as "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Peabody speaks honestly and grippingly about his essential, personal desire to parent - -not just as a gay man, but as a human being. Anyone who has ever wanted to be a parent will relate to this courageous and unusual story.

In the play, coasting through life with his committed partner David, Alex spends his days dreaming of baby booties and tamping down a rising fire of baby fever. Parenthood seems like an impossibility until late one night, the phone rings. Alex is suddenly launched on a rollercoaster ride of adoption anxieties, raging hormones, and dangerous quantities of Chubby Hubby. Along the way, he begins to discover the unexpected joys of life's most elemental journey. Elizabeth Hyer Rose directs.
