His boyfriend Anthony is the domestic type, nice but highly strung, while Albert, the guy Gar has been seeing on the side, is more spontaneous and transgressive. Security or fun – which should he choose? And why should he have to? Gar just wants to dance with his friends! Gar lives in apparent bliss with cleaning-obsessed boyfriend Anthony. Together, they bitch about their straight friends’ weddings and wish their moms were lesbians. Anthony is pressuring Gar into a marriage he sometimes wants and sometimes doesn’t want. But all the while Gar, not yet willing to embrace monogamy, is having an affair with wild kid Albert. After that, all collapses into emotional breakdowns and wild displays of seriously outrageous behavior. Note: The play contains adult content / nudity. _THIS MUCH _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director, Clyde Simon. The cast features actors Wesley Allen, Daryl Kelley and Maximillian Winer. _THIS MUCH _opens Friday, Oct 19 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through Nov 3 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, in Cleveland’s historic Tremont neighborhood.
