Big Excellent 20th Reunion

Big Excellent 20th Reunion
Ally is a single mother and lesbian, who passed away from cancer a few days before her high schools Big Excellent 20th Reunion. Before Ally died, she asked her daughter, Erica Klein, an 18 year old woman of color, to go in her place, and deliver her last message to her dearest friends. Because Ally sent each of them a free plane ticket they all show up to attend the reunion. It is quickly revealed all were closeted during high school. Kevin Yih is a gay therapist who was homeless, and now works with at-risk youth and is living with HIV. Mitch Johnson is a gay man who was kicked out of the military, and became a leatherman and Hollywood stuntman. Debra Gonzales is a Latina bisexual who traded in her profession in the mortgage industry for a new law degree. Samantha Blaine is a cat-loving lesbian romance writer. And Danielle Parker is transsexual Professor of Queer theory and the former quarterback of the football team. Due to personalities and dynamics, its no easy task for Erica to deliver Allys message, as this play reveals the differences and internalized prejudices within the queer community. there are anthems for everyone within this play and it is a deeply intimate story for those who have ever loved family and friends who are queer, from interracial and/or adopted families, or have been touched by cancer and HIV.
