The Gulf

Intimate l Tender l Evocative
By Audrey Cefaly
Directed by Tracy Ward

Cast: Laura Domingo (Betty), Amy Meyers (Kendra)

Betty wants change. Kendra likes the status quo. On a small fishing boat on the Alabama Delta, a tranquil evening of playful banter takes a volatile turn as two lovers witness the weight of their unspoken words. Will Kendra and Betty move past affectations and pretense, or will pooled resentment cause their love to drift?

Winner of the 2018 Lammy for LGBTQ Drama
