BUNKED!: A New Musical Announces Sponsorship by Logo

BUNKED!: A New Musical, by Bradford Proctor and Alaina Kunin, has been picked up for sponsorship by Logo (the same channel that brings you RuPaul's Drag Race, Buffy, and the upcoming RuPaul's Drag U). BUNKED! will make its world premiere this summer at the New York International Fringe Festival (August 13-29; exact dates TBA).

Set at the idyllic Camp Timberlake, BUNKED! takes place during the pivotal summer after graduating high school. Focusing on five counselors each embarking on their own journeys of self-discovery, BUNKED! gets to the heart of the angst and awkwardness of not knowing where you belong and how to live up to the expectations that are suddenly being thrust upon you. As the end of summer approaches, hearts are broken and mended, life-long friendships are cemented, and decisions are made that will impact the counselors' lives forever.
