How To Come Out (But Not Like In A Gay Way Or Anything)
How To Come Out (But Not, Like, In A Gay Way Or Anything) follows Milo and Tomas, two best friends on their private boys' school excursion to a museum. Milo is gay. Today is the day he comes out to Tomas. But before he gets a chance, the boys touch a pair of ceramic frogs and swap bodies.
How To Come Out is a queer comedy about friendship, loneliness, and all the different, desperate, lovely ways of being a queer year twelve student. There's the twink history nerd everyone already knows is gay, the debating girl that can't admit to herself she's a lesbian, the non-binary kid that's been fighting for queer liberation since they discovered Steven Universe, and of course, an overly supportive PE teacher played by a woman in drag.
How To Come Out was performed in MUSE 2022 in Space 28 by Yashith Fernando, James Provis, Justine Light DeGuzman, Amira Susskind, Isabelle Brown-Rogers, and Austin MacDonald.
Fruitcake Productions acknowledges the traditional Owners of the land on which we create, work and live; the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and pay our respects to Elders of this land. We recognise the past atrocities against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this land and the lost of language, communities and story due to genocide and dispossession. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
We also acknowledge the role of English institutions past and present in global colonisation and oppression. As a company we aim to engage with and resist continued colonial structures within the theatre space and beyond. We thrive to make Fruitcake Productions a Safe, Inclusive and Diverse for Theatre Makers Everywhere.
