Gay Card
MUSIC BY RYAN KORELL
BOOK & LYRICS BY JONATHAN KEEBLER
GAY CARD is the hilariously heartwarming story of Logan Kapler, a one-friend loser who has never belonged. But now he's starting college with a trick up his sleeve: he's gay. Gay people are awesome; therefore, he will be awesome. Except his new college housemates don't agree (#fail). They revoke his "gay card" and deem him not-awesome-enough-to-be-gay instead. Determined to prove them wrong, Logan embarks on a quest to earn his gay card. But when his dream life leaves him lonelier than ever, he must learn that there are some insecurities you never grow out of — before he loses the only two people who truly love him.

—DAWN RENO LANGLEY, Triangle Arts and Entertainment
“This show is for everyone, regardless of sexuality, who has ever had to find themselves…”
—SUSIE POTTER, Triangle Arts and Entertainment
“Pointedly not a coming-out story, Gay Card approaches its coming-of-age focus from an angle I suspect to be more reflective of many of today’s teen and young adult experiences…”
—DAN JAKES, Chicago Reader
“Twinkly, percussive, uplifting—the songs here often evoke composers like Matthew Sklar, Jason Robert Brown, and Laurence O’Keefe…”
