WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
From the comic mind, of GLAAD Award winning playwright, William Wyatt (Peachtree Battle, A Sunday Afternoon At Loehmans, The Limousine Ride and Veranda) comes a tale about gay marriage in an ultra conservative household. Bright-eyed hunk Joey (Matthew Pender) has finally met the man of his dreams and ready to take a plunge into marriage. The thought of a gay wedding has Joey's southern socialite mother Sarah Edwards (Tina McKissick) in quite a tizzy. Worried that the news of her son's nuptials might jeopardize her chances of winning "Christian of the Year," Sarah stops at nothing to protect her name, image and reputation. The legendary Lady Bunny co-stars in the play as the power-wielding, Baptist Minister's Wife, Charity Divine.

Whatever this show might have been when it was Downtown it isnt any more. Awful acting. Offensive and I dont mean the gay aspect, either. Painful to sit through. It is a nightmare now.

RE:So funny
This show was incredibly funny. The lead is hysterical, as is Bunny and the rest of the cast. Its a must see for sure.

When Joey Married Bobby, which has moved uptown for an extended run at the Roy Arias Theatre, is premised on the volatile scenario of a gay marriage in a conservative southern family. So while one might expect real fireworks from author William Wyatt, the result is little more than a gay variation on Father of the Bride. It's amusingly airy fare, but the work does not live up to either the farcical or politically explosive potential of its set-up.
The play begins with Nancy Reagan lookalike Sarah Edwards (Tina McKissick) juggling her joint responsibilities in organizing the church Christmas pageant and preparing for the gay wedding of her son Joey (Matthew Pender), to which she has invit[...]
