Bright, effervescent and witty, Fruit Fly gives a musically gay twist to this Tales of the City-esque drama with sparkling results. H.P. Mendoza's (COLMA: THE MUSICAL) critically-acclaimed directorial debut follows Bethesda (L.A. Renigen), a young performance artist in search of her career and birth mother in San Francisco. Moving into the city's vibrant queer neighborhood, and surrounding herself with a loving gay family, she becomes the fruit fly of choice for her circle of gay male buddies, while uncovering long-hidden family secrets. Full of quirky, melodic and uplifting musical/dance performances, FRUIT FLY is a glittering mash-up that will have you humming for days.
