Playwright Frank Anthony Polito shares his journey from blue collar Hazel Park Michigan to New York's theater scene, then back again, nearly 20 years later with a drama about his teenage years with his best friend--both discovering they are gay in the late 1980s.
For two more weekends--through October 4th, audiences can share this remarkable show in Hazel Park at the the Slipstream Theatre Initiative's production of "B.F.s!" (link to website).
Topics include:
- Frank's journey home
- Writing a play (from an original novel)
- Basing characters on real people--and merging them
- Teenagers, friendships and drama
- Becoming a drama coach at your alma mater
