<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';">The play takes place in a large
walk-in closet where we find Old Man, Middle-Aged Man and Young Man. Each is in
the closet for vastly different reasons.
Enter John (Teen Man), who frantically runs in, freaked out immediately following
his first gay sexual encounter. As all three
of the other men try to convince John to come out of the closet, each has to
confront his own awkward, humorous or heartbreaking reasons for being there himself. Directed by Cory Molner.</span></p><p></p>
