Anne-Marie & SMJ, two Queer BFFs, came out in their late 20s. Now with partners and a tiny bit of clarity, they try to chart their queer journeys through the straight people they loved growing up. However, they are quickly trapped in a TV by an unknown entity known as “The Spiral” who forces them to confront their performative ways and the stereotypes they play in their real lives as told through visits from animated children’s show superstars, international pop stars, and late 2000s MTV dating show contestants. Bouncing from channel to channel, Anne-Marie and SMJ are forced to confront racial ambiguity, allyship, the generational gap in queer communities, bisexuality, and what it means to transition. Straight Icons is a queer, fast-paced, Dante Inferno-inspired play that features sketch, original music, dance, mime, drag, and PowerPoint comedy.
