Saturdays

by Farrah Rothman & Walker Caplan

Poster of Saturdays

In this new musical, Eric and Kathleen are hiding something from their anxious, environmentally conscious son, Noah. Noah thinks Eric is an avid birdwatcher, but Eric’s bird watching is a cover story to hide the fact that Eric spends his Saturdays as a talented drag queen. On the day that Noah is to receive a big award, the foundation of secrecy keeping the family stable begins to shake as Noah discovers what’s been lurking beneath the surface. As tensions heighten and Noah’s anxieties physically manifest in the form of a very muscular and sexy protein powder spokesman, it becomes clear that this Saturday won’t end without a few breakdowns. Saturdays asks: How do you find truth after living a lie? Where does the performance end? It fuses realism with camp to explore pressing, ever-relevant issues of gender, identity, and family.
