Straight
About The Show
Meet Ben. Ben is a 26-year-old investment banker. Ben likes beer, sports and Emily … and Chris. Straight is a provocative new play that deals with fidelity, sexuality, and identity in “post-equality” America. Funny, sad, sexy and surprising, this three-character drama takes a hard look at the moral complex of a generation that prides itself on the pretense of acceptance.

Reviews
-
“A MUST SEE! It’s not very often that I leave a theater EMOTIONALLY RAW. Straight is A CHARGED, POWERFUL piece that showcases why labels still matter, even in 2016.“
OUT -
“HAMILTON isn’t the only THEATRICAL REVOLUTION going on in New York. Another smaller revolution unfolds every night during an off-Broadway play called STRAIGHT.”
The Huffington Post -
“SENSITIVELY WRITTEN AND WELL PLAYED BY AN EXCELLENT THREESOME (NO PUN INTENDED) – MY KIND OF PLAY!”
Observer -
“A SMART, BRACING PRODUCTION BRIMMING WITH CLEVER WISECRACKS AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING OBSERVATIONS ON SEXUAL IDENTITY. All elements converge seamlessly with this play by Scott Elmegreen and Drew Fornarola, directed with polished finesse by Andy Sandberg.”
