The performance will be a staged reading of the script & a talkback session with the playwright & cast will follow.

 

Matt’s was originally done as a 10-minute play during the theatre’s Half-Dozen show in August. It was such a big hit, that Ms. Eaton developed it into a full-length script. Matt’s tells the story of Matt, who brings home his younger boyfriend, Jason, on Thanksgiving to meet his family for the first time. Unfortunately, Matt’s family doesn’t know that he’s gay. Add to that a drunken aunt, a wise-cracking grandma & an unwanted ex-boyfriend & you’ve got one hilarious holiday!

 

 Admission is FREE, but donations are gladly accepted!

 

The theatre is located at 3326 Everett Road, Bath, OH
