Poster Boys
by Michele Riml
“This. You guys eating, sleeping, brushing your teeth. The domestic scene. Except with two guys. It’s edgy.”
In a world of celebrity, botox and breast implants, Caroline, a forty-something ad executive, is losing her footing. When she’s hired to create a queer-positive ad campaign the models turn out to be her ex-fiancée Jack and his new boyfriend Carson, a devout Catholic. Sparks fly, and debate heats up as the unlikely trio suddenly find themselves in the midst of controversy, forced to confront their beliefs and motives – all in the media spotlight. A piercingly funny journey inspired by a real Canadian event. Penned by the playwright who wrote the hilarious, sold-out play Sexy Laundry.
