Bury Your Gays: a new musical comedy at the SheNYC Festival

Bury your gays poster

BURY YOUR GAYS is a new musical comedy by Sam Melton ‘23 and directed by Eliyana Abraham ‘23. The show follows a gay-straight alliance as they encounter cosmic horrors in their high school's basement. The show performs Off-Broadway in the SheNYC Arts festival at the Lynn F. Angelson Theater on Saturday, July 25, 2:00 PM and 8:30 PM.

It’s 2013 in Central Jersey’s Dunmouth Township, where the 17-year cicadas refuse to die. Gio’s father describes the mutant cicadas as “unnatural,” the same word he used last summer when Gio came out as a lesbian. Determined to find the reason for the cicadas’ mutations and for her own queerness, Gio becomes obsessed with investigating the (un)natural.
