Rising Action Theatre Presents THE SUM OF US, 04/22-05/30

By:

Rising Action Theatre will present 'The Sum of Us', a love story between a father and his gay son, to be staged from April 22 to May 30, 2010. The play is written by David Stevens, and directed by Steven Chambers.

A hit Off-Broadway and later a film starring Russell Crowe, this play by gifted Australian writer David Stevens explores the volatile relationship between an aging widower and his gay son. After meeting in a local pub, Jeff and a young gardener, Greg, hit it off and begin to date. When he meets Jeff's stubborn, opinionated Dad however, Greg begins to back off. Meanwhile Dad too has a new flame: a woman he met through a dating service. Put off by Jeff's homosexuality, prosaic Joyce too pulls away.

"A father-son play with a big heart. Its first act has plenty of laughs, while the second half balances humor and pathos and includes a surprising conclusion...ought to run in resident theaters and summer stock for years to come."-Variety

The play will run from April 22 to May 30, 2010. For tickets and more information, please visit risingactiontheatre.tix.com or call 1 800 595-4849. Rising Action Theatre is located at 840 E. Oakland Park Blvd, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Rising Action Theatre, Inc. is dedicated to promoting and educating the public in diversity and tolerance for all people through theatre arts. It will present plays with multi-cultural themes and works of social relevance.
