The Love Lives of Ee and Goo Poster Fall

Guillermo Reyes returns to work again with director Joseph Megel on a new play, this one following a queer/straight love story tracking the development of an unusual friendship between two young men against the background of the L.A. riots in the spring of 1992. Goo, a Latino high school student, writes an account of his unusual, intimate friendship with Ee, a straight Korean American high school student, while Goo’s teacher, Mrs. Wexler, struggles to get a simple article out of him for the high school paper—minus all the personal stuff. Mrs. Wexler becomes enthralled with the story of the two students and uncovers family secrets, sins, and details of their love lives in this comedy of bro-hood, both hetero- and homo- lives, and family and civic ties.
