> ABOUT THE PLAY:
> First appearing as part of this year’s Rainbow Theater Festival,
> Jonathan Tolins’ THE LAST SUNDAY IN JUNE is a bold work that warmly
> embraces the customs and cultures of the “gay play” while at the
> same time turning those ideas on its head. The story itself follows
> a group of friends who meet in a Greenwich Village apartment for the
> annual pride parade, which takes place on the last Sunday in June.
> The main focus is on the largely platonic relationships of Tom and
> Michael, a couple in a slump about to move from the village to the
> suburbs and James and Susan, a gay man and a straight woman who
> decide to ‘opt out’ of their former failed relationships through a
> legal marriage to each other. Through humor and comedic turns the
> play attempts to re-define gay relationships by posing a series of
> questions. Can gay culture exist in the suburbs away from bars and
> parades? Can a partnership exist without sex? What defines a
> marriage?
> For all the witty banter, Tolins is interested in taking the pulse
> of gay men in the wake of mainstream acceptance. Is some attitude
> adjustment in order when homosexuality has gone from the closet to
> must-see TV? Should they assimilate into the middle class by
> marrying and moving to the suburbs or maintain a more bohemian, less
> monogamous lifestyle in their own enclaves? Mr. Tolins is known for
> using comedy to address important cultural issues through his
> contributions as a producer and writer for Queer as Folk and his
> play Twilight of the Golds, which performed on Broadway.
> The cast includes: Brian M. Kehoe (Tom), Derrik Frenney (Michael),
> Edmond Toub (Brad), Erik Oehler (Joe), Marisa Krupa (Susan), and
> Nathaniel Dudley (James/Scott). All actors were part of the
> original Rainbow Theater Festival cast.
> The Last Sunday in June by Jonathan Tolins will be presented at 243
> Rosedale St. (New Life Presbyterian Church at the corner of Monroe
> Ave. and Rosedale St.) beginning July 17th and running through July
> 19th. Single tickets range from $6-$12 and may be purchased in
> person or at BreadandWaterTheatre.org. Discounted advance tickets
> range from $3-$6 and are available online for a limited time only.
