From finding a fellow church member on Grindr at age eighteen to finally leaving Mormonism, Frankie Lee looks at his religious background with a sense of humor.
. It shares the story of a young man discovering his queer identity while signing his life away to the Mormon Church. Despite the suffering and opposition he encountered, Lee candidly and amusingly reflects on the chance he took to leave Mormonism and live as a gay man.
That was until about a year ago, when Lee found himself in a conversation with Gholson about performances that inspired them."I mentioned that Phoebe Waller Bridge is a huge inspiration of mine, and it hit me:was a solo show," Lee says."Before I could tell the stories of other people that had impacted me, I had to tell my own story. And so I started writing, the one-person show, in the fall of last year.
Following his first performance, he felt an enormous weight leave his shoulders."Not even just from a production standpoint, but from a human standpoint," Lee says."I finally get to tell the world about this experience that shaped me. The audience response was incredible. I had several sold-out shows, and I remember going back to the green room with tears of joy after the first performance because I had finally gotten to do it.
