Description:

Tunks Productions is looking for actors to be a part of the world premiere season of “37 Ways to Say I’m Gay”, by acclaimed dramatist Wayne Tunks. The show will be a part of the Midsumma 2012 season and play at Downstairs at Alma’s in Caufield North, Victoria, between Jan 15 and Feb 5.

“37 Ways to Say I’m Gay” will feature a stunning 92 characters across 29 short plays. These are stories of coming out, 37 different ways. From prehistoric to futuristic, from America to Australia, from city to county and from comedy to drama, these are stories with heart. A young gay man’s suicide is covered up, an ‘are they or aren’t they?’ boy band, a wedding ceremony that will end badly and a boy ready to confess his sexuality to his whole school. Two soldiers on the front line in World War II, a teen unable to tell his parents, an AIDS patient clinging to life in 1984 and Alexander the Great just after his wedding are only just a few of the many stories covered in this heart warming collection of coming out tales.

Writer and director Wayne Tunks is an award winning writer known as “Sydney’s most prolific dramatist” – The Daily Telegraph. His plays have been performed in three continents and include The Subtle Art of Flirting, We’ll Always Have Wagga, The Bridesmaid Must Die!, Hell Hath No Fury, the Burlesque Effect, Birthdays, Christmas & other family disasters, Go West and the critically acclaimed Silvertop Ash. In 2010, Wayne began working as a storyliner for Australia’s longest running drama series, Neighbours.
