Like That

Like That (formerly John R) is a play by Frank Anthony Polito. Best friends since Seventh Grade, Jack and Brad discover they have more in common than marching in the school band…

But what tipped them off?

Was it their mutual admiration for recently deceased TV actor, Jon-Erik Hexum? Or their love of the beautiful Jane Seymour film, Somewhere In Time? Or how about the fact that they knew all the words to such 80’s pop-hits as “Valley Girl,” “The Warrior” and “Johnny, Are You Queer?”

Growing-up-gay in the suburbs of Detroit, during the mid-to-late 80’s was no joy. But to be Like That and to have your Best Friend be Like That, too…

That was pretty special.
