The Mattachine Family
Friday, February 2 | 7:30pm | Center for the Performing Arts
Jumping through moments in time between a collection of characters, The Mattachine Family finds a fiercely in love gay couple - photographer Thomas and actor Oscar - maintaining their relationship through steadily remaining fiercely in love through geographical setbacks after their foster son returns to live with his birth mother. Just as Oscar's acting career rises, Thomas enters a pre-midlife existential crisis. As the couple begins to have differing views and desires around what a potential family looks like together moving forward, Thomas leans heavily on a close-knit core of friends for comfort and meaning.
