WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

This world premiere from Craig Lucas explores the connection between two long-separated childhood friends, Tad and Billy, who are unexpectedly reunited as adults. As Tad reconnects with Billy, as well as with Billy's parents and sister, Lucas creates a portrait of an American family, divided by their experiences and beliefs but bound together by a fierce, unarticulated love.

Bartlett Sher directs.
