Unbury Your Gays
by Broad Theatre
Mar. 15 - Mar. 16
At a sleepover the night before their first middle school dance, Sawyer announces she will kiss a Boy while the chaperones aren't looking. A pinky promise leaves Carolina with no other choice but to help. Meanwhile, a 19th century Necromancer unearths a Corpse and her last secret as she digs up the truth of what they were to each other. Historians will say They Were Really Good Friends. Sweet and silly and sad, unbury your gays is a coming of age comedy that captures the tragedies of girlhood, friendship, and growing up—and the ways a desire for more can haunt us.
