By: Chad Beguelin A down-on-his-luck Broadway playwright is banished to rural Illinois for a last chance at reviving his career in this hilarious queer rom-com about second chances, in love and in life Noah Adams's career as a playwright is circling the drain, thanks to a scorching New York Times review of his first Broadway musical. So when a family emergency sends him back to his Podunk hometown of Plainview, Illinois, he figures he'll hide out for a day or two and lick his wounds. But to Noah's absolute horror, his agent has secretly arranged for him to stage an amateur version of the career-ruining musical at the Plainview community theater. As if trying to work with a bunch of unsophisticated amateurs on his high-art production weren't enough, Noah seems to run into Luke, the bully from his high school years, everywhere he goes. Even worse, Luke has grown up to be downright gorgeous and beloved by all. But as rehearsals begin, Noah is surprised by the cast and crew's insightful suggestions, the deep care and warmth of the town he'd dismissed, and the reality of what happened with Luke all those years ago. Filled with a colorful cast of Midwestern characters, SHOWMANCE is a queer rom-com about the humility, love, and humor that come with a second chance. Binding: Paperback
