WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Additional performance added: Saturday, February 19th at 2pm!
Formerly titled The Joy of Gay Sex, Joy is a satirical celebration of gay life and love in San Francisco in the early '90s. It is the story of Paul, an outspoken young writer, who finds that the joy of his first love affair is disrupted by his uncompromising opinions and passionate politics.
Presented as a memoir in flashback form, Joy pays homage to the films Annie Hall and Manhattan, where characters often address the audience, offer personal commentary and express their innermost passions through impromptu musical standards from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Parental guidance suggested (under twelve)
There is an additional performance Monday, February 14 at 7pm.

Joy certainly lives up to its title. After seeing the show on opening night, I felt a bit giddy from having laughed so much. John Fisher's witty and satiric romantic comedy follows a group of friends -- gay, lesbian, and questioning -- as they fall in and out of love in San Francisco during the mid-1990s.
Paul (Harris Doran) is a graduate student of ancient history; he's working on a dissertation that seeks to prove that Jesus was gay "or, at least, predominantly homosexual as we would define it today." He meets a singer named Gabriel (Christopher Sloan), who claims to be straight. (Upon hearing this claim for the first time, Paul bursts into a fit of laughter.) Paul's best friend, Kegan ([...]
