Hooray for Hollyweird

Let’s say you’re a gay teenager, and you’re growing up in the barrio in Hollywood. You can count on being picked on for being queer, and maybe you’ll develop a fondness for original cast recordings and reruns of Bewitched. Chances are, you’ll have a small-minded, ethnocentric uncle who wants to send you to boot camp. But a stalker? A Mormon stalker? A run-in with Homeland Security? And a depressed mom who’s hooked on Citalopram?

Presented by Teatro Bravo and directed by Andres Alcala, the story of a gay kid who enters an Academy Awards-themed competition in hopes of winning a college scholarship promises high comedy and pages of commentary on contemporary culture.
