MUSICAL COMEDY: GAYLAND

Gayland, a musical comedy set in a world in which almost everyone is gay, evangelical conservatives hold power, and the marginalized ungays are agitating for the right to marry, was a hit at the 2013 Fringe Festival in New Orleans. Later, expanded to full length, it has gone through several workshop productions in New York, with table reads at the York Theatre and other venues. This project is still in development.
