This fast-moving comedy follows art director Kyle as he tries to discover his real self amid the power struggles and skewed priorities of a high-powered New York ad agency. After an office restructuring puts him in a new creative group run by the megalomaniac homophobe Kate, he finds an unlikely ally in copywriter Dodo, a living-legend from the era of “Mad Men” who not-so-gently prods Kyle to the uncomfortable but inevitable realization that “It’s time to take off. And soar.”

    The Fierce Urgency of Now is a wholly delectable radio play. Immediately engaging and relentlessly entertaining throughout, with characters that are by turns vile and endearing. So many laugh out loud moments peppered with some well-placed pathos. The Fresh Fruit Festival cast is stellar. Production values are impeccable. DeVita tackles multiple hot topics with acrobatic finesse and with great humor. Highly recommend.

    "You’re falling in love with a version of me that doesn’t exist." There are moments like this that just grab you from your seat and transport you right into the intricate worlds of these characters. The intensity of the high-powered NY ad agency fuels the overall turbulence but ultimately leads to Kyle finding himself in an unfamiliar situation that leads him on a path of self-discovery. The end had me chanting KYLE- KYLE- KYLE!! Love it and such a gratifying read!

    This story grabs you right from the beginning and refuses to let you go. A dark but tender story about trying to find your way through this painful modern world. Having read this and another piece by DeVita, I am thrilled to know his work. DeVita gives us queer characters the world they inhabit, that feels fresh, funny, and fully felt!
