Matthew Scott Montgomery (Noah), Adrián Javier (Tahj), Jimin Moon (Felix), and Calvin Seabrooks (Kobe), withBrandon Halvorsen, Andre Heimos, and Brendan Scannell.
This razor-sharp, riotously funny, and fearlessly sexy new play explores queer love and the many forms commitment can take. Four friends gather for a weekend getaway, armed with champagne, secrets, and enough emotional baggage to fill the trunk twice over. As pop anthems echo through the cabin, what begins as a warm, wine-drenched reunion becomes a powder keg of desire, miscommunication, history, unexpected revelations, and more.
