Description

"Six Months for Six Weeks” is the brainchild of singer-songwriter John Coons. A semi-autobiographical one-man show built around original songs, it is an honest, funny, and heart-breaking new piece of queer theater. "Six Months” tells the story of two twenty-something men in Portland, Maine, their six-week "relationship with an expiration date" and its aftermath, set against 2009's "Question 1” same-sex marriage debate. Alternatively tender and satirical, it looks at the definitions and value we place on relationships in our changing world.

"Six Months" has been performed in various venues on both coasts, from NYC theater district's "Don't Tell Mama" to Boston's Cloud Club, to Seattle, where it was performed as a fundraiser for Washington United for Marriage. It made it's Maine debut to audience acclaim at the 2012 PortFringe festival, and recently completed a successful kickstarter, allowing it to be adapted into an upcoming web miniseries with filmmaker Alex Berry.
