A Staged Reading of EXPERIMENTING WITH KATZ by David A. Gill

Produced by Julia Botero in Association with Roly Poly Productions

Michael Katz has come out to his mother for a second time, the first time not having gone well and driven him to a nervous breakdown. This time, though, his mother arrives in town on a mission to make certain he gets "fixed"- doing whatever it takes. Set in Chicago in the midst of an unseasonable blizzard, "Experimenting with Katz" deals with issues of coming out, and the repercussions from family and friends. Through comedy, it highlights the absurdity of those who use their ignorance about the LGBT community as a justification for their actions, while ultimately proving harmful to the very people they love.
