Here's how the show is billed: "Consent follows Ron Sullivan, living the American dream. A natural athlete and former NFL football player, Ron achieved early success as an award-winning architect. But recently he's made some changes. Ron came out as gay, separated from his high school sweetheart, and moved into a Soho loft. Now a chance encounter with Kurt, a sexy Yale law student, seduces him into the murky waters of consent. Neither man, nor the two most important women in Ron’s life, will ever be the same."

Writer and director Rhodes says his goal is to "explore issues surrounding primal desire, vulnerability, passion and shame."

The production features scenic design by Scott Tedmon-Jones, costume design by Izzy Fields, lighting design by John Eckert, sound design by Chad Raines, video design by Chelsie McPhilimy and props by Addison Herren. Casting is by Callieri Casting.
