SYNOPSIS: A gay theatre company is putting on a campy musical version of Medea. Paul is the super gay star of the show. Elsa plays Medea in the show and hates that she is the butt of an all the gay cast. Paul and Elsa, two very different people who detest each other off-stage, find themselves falling in love, shockingly. The gay director of the show and all of Paul’s gay lovers are stunned and disappointed that Paul has fallen for Elsa. They start changing the tone of the production, making it more and more sympathetic to the Medea character. Nothing is peaceful backstage or on - as Kegan falls in love with her brother Cal, Gabe cuts up his son Darryl, and Jane and Craig prove they can out gay them all. On opening night, the show spirals out of control as each actor tries to bend the story to their own agenda and the director goes insane trying to keep the whole mess on track.
