Among the Coats

SYNOPSIS

It’s the year of our lord and savior – 2003. It’s hot, dry, and deadly boring – Utah. Lee is a butch lesbian who's one hell of an actress and one nightmare of a waiter. When she gets cast in a non-Equity summer production, she flies down to Utah, excited to finally get work after coming out. There, she meets Jane, a Catholic kindergarten teacher who's fresh out of high school and freshly engaged to a man whose eyes she secretly imagines scooping out with grapefruit spoons. And she's just gotten her first gig as a seasonal acting apprentice.

But when the two of them are cast in a regional production of "In the Stables"; a play about Marie Antoinette's forbidden love affair with a Stable Boy, they are forced to replay the same scene of intimacy over & over again. And with a reckless director, a poorly written script, and lack of intimacy coordinator --- the two of them begin to become attracted to one another -- and all of a sudden, find themselves unable to perform the show.
