Bury Your Gays

About

This hour-long concert of selected songs will provide a preview of Bury Your Gays, a new comedy musical written by Sam Melton, directed by Eliyana Abraham. It’s 2013 in Central Jersey’s Dunmouth Township, where the 17-year cicadas refuse to die. Gio’s father describes the mutant cicadas as “unnatural,” the same word he used last summer when Gio came out as a lesbian. Determined to find the reason for the cicadas’ mutations and for her own queerness, Gio becomes obsessed with investigating the (un)natural. This concert reading will present an hour of selected songs from Bury Your Gays.
