Description: 

Dive into the campy world of “With Friends Like These…,” an LGBTQ+ stage show that humorously reimagines the classic film The Women. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles, the story follows Kyle Freeman, a successful lawyer whose life takes a nosedive when he discovers his husband, Conrad, is cheating with Trevor, a charming waiter. In his quest for support, Kyle turns to his fabulous friends: Donna, a bold gossip reporter; Adam, a dramatic TV writer; Rodney, a steady schoolteacher; and Sidney, the frenemy who stirs the pot. As secrets unravel in Beverly Hills and Bel Air, the show explores love, betrayal, and self-discovery, celebrating friendship and the fabulousness of LA life—A VERY Gay Farce: Muscles, Mayhem, and Cocktails!
