In the world-premiere romance LE SWITCH, marriage equality finally reaches the U.S. and commitment-shy David finds himself unsure how to react to the nation's honeymoon phase. Nervous in the face of "wedding fever," he retreats to his home full of unopened books and his grieving activist roommate. When his best friend's bachelor party takes him to Montreal, he's unexpectedly swept off his feet by a beautiful young florist. In the months that follow, David and his non-traditional family must decide for themselves what it really means to be committed, what it means to be married and what it means to be queer.
The production team for LE SWITCH includes Joe Schermoly (scenic design), AFT Artistic Associate David Hyman (costume design), Sarah Hughey (lighting design) and Paul Perry (sound design) and Helen Lattyak (stage manager).
