In the play, "Eric has news. Big news. He's gay. And he’s coming home to tell his family. But his family steals the spotlight before he opens his mouth. His father has Alzheimer's. His younger brother is schizophrenic. And his mother? She’s still Catholic."

According to the troupe, the playwright creates "painfully funny and painfully honest dialogue" for the "average Irish-American family in Pennsylvania who weather a profound tragedy."

The play is billed as "a coming-out story unfolding in the midst of family tragedy."

Timothy Ford has been an actor in New York City for 18 years, and this is his first play.

Directed by Jeff Seabaugh, the Equity showcase cast features John DeSilvestri, Scott Gilmore, Stephen Kaplan, Andy Melton, Nancy Rogers, Cynthia Russell, Peter Schuyler and Cara Vander Wiel. Stage management is by Jennie Contuzzi, costume design by Liza Ramirez, set design by Randy Lichtenwalner.
