Unseen Images Theatre of Orlando, FL has announced its upcoming production of f-ing MEN by Joe DiPietro to play the Orlando International Theatre Festival in May 2021.
f-ing MEN focuses on the lives of 10 men, with wildly different ages, professions and priorities. Meet the married couple, the soldier, the actor, the porn star, the student and so on. All are in different emotional places, especially in terms of their sexuality - some are just experimenting, while others wholeheartedly embrace their identity. All face problems or dissatisfactions of one kind or another, some are romantic and others are sexual.
f-ing MEN was written by Joe DiPietro. DiPietro is best known for the Tony Award-winning musical MEMPHIS as well as for writing the book and lyrics for the long-running off-Broadway show I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE, as well as the critically acclaimed OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS.
Under the direction of Jamie DeHay, the production boasts the following cast:
JOHN, the escort - Leroy Aponte
STEVE, the soldier - William Allred
MARCO, the graduate student - Jesse Thomas Foster
KYLE, the college kid - Niko Felizzola
LEO, the married guy - Scott Browning
JACK, the other married guy - Roy Hamlin
RYAN, the porn star - Coletyn P. Hentz
SAMMY, the playwright - Chris Eastwood
BRANDON, the actor - Bjorn Backman
DONALD, the journalist - Robert Crane (Erica Roberts)
