TRUNK BRIEF JOCK THONG

by DJ Hills

A group of queer eighteen-year-olds gather for the first time since graduation. As the night is upturned by unwelcome guests and exposed skeletons, everyone is forced to grapple with their own understandings of identity, ambition, and family.

TRUNK BRIEF JOCK THONG

  • Aaron Coleman: TRUNK BRIEF JOCK THONG

    From the moment the play starts, DJ's razor-sharp, quick-as-lightning dialogue brings us into the acid-tongued, yet deeply vulnerable world of a group of queer friends searching for connection. In a culture that promotes the idea of BFFs, the play deftly explores the fragility of friendship, and the tragedy when friendships fall apart. Yet, DJ finds the gentle poetic beauty that lies within not only the characters, but all of us. Also, this play is an electric field day for actors, allowing them to stretch their comedic chops while also showing real heart. I hope theaters find this and produce...
