About the play.....

Ty Williamson, a young actor in NYC and in-the closet-to-his-family is in session with his 27th therapist. He is debating whether to return home to small-town Texas for his Grandmother’s funeral-a double dilemma since she had her own son committed to an insane asylum when he was 18, after finding out he was gay and a transvestite.

In fact while Ty is in his session, his uncle, Earl, “Brother Boy” is undergoing dehomosexualization therapy by Dr. Eve, who hopes to write a best seller and appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show. However Brother Boy can only think of his wig, his next performance as Tammy Wynette and Wardell, a boy from back home. Other family members include Ty’s mother, Latrelle, a very tight wound bundle of denial, her trash talking sister LaVonda and Aunt Sissy, the voice of reason.

Then there are the neighbors…G.W.-the embarrassing cause of Grandma’s demise, his loony wife Noleta and the fun folks at Bubba’s bar. It all gets settled at the funeral as Rev. Barnes presides.
