Theatre Performance: The Letter G

The Letter G, by Conor McShane, tells the story of "Uncle" Lou Taminski, who is the host of the long-running children's program Uncle Lou's Workshop, which has educated kids on how to build things for decades. But flagging ratings have forced Lou and his crew--including his daughter/producer Elizabeth--to try out all kinds of new ideas to breathe life into the show. But Lou's newest plan is the most daring of them all: come out as gay on his show. This revelation comes as a surprise to everyone, Elizabeth included. As protests begin to pop up and pressures from the studio begin to mount, Lou and his crew must decide whether to back off or double down.

Student-directed by C.J. Davis.
