What folks are saying about EX-GAYS

Hey, campers! We're just about to head into our second weekend of Ex-Gays: Not a Str8 Remount and here's what the crowds are saying:

Fittingly for a show staged in a church, Ex-Gays is a little miracle. It works as a comedy, it works as a drama. It also works as an act of protest against not just the extreme (though very real) sites of "conversion therapy," but against more common microaggressions and exclusionary assumptions. It's a polished production that hits a raw nerve, and it's a powerful experience.
    - Jay Gabler, City Pages

I don’t think I’ve ever started a review by stating that a play is too good at what it does. [...] From the time you enter Springhouse Ministry Center and grab your tickets you are sucked into the campiest of camps, Camp Str8-N-Arrow, and treated to one of the most solid casts I’ve seen in a long time.
    - Cassandra Snow, The Column

Potent - hilarious - breathtaking in its forthright honesty on the brutality of 'conversion therapy.' Congratulations to cast & creative team.

[The] Savage Umbrella ensemble is defiantly enjoying themselves.  And that's important. Especially when this piece reminds us that one of most subversive things someone can tell you is that you're worthy just as you are.
    - Rachel Teagle, Minnesota Playlist

We came to the show on Saturday evening and enjoyed it so much, we convinced some of our friends to join us this coming Sunday afternoon! Can't wait to see it again!

​It's CAMP. It's SATIRE. It's a CAMP SATIRE. Set in fictional Camp Str8-N-Arrow, Ex-Gays: Not a Str8 Remount follows Pastor Brian and the rest of the camp staff as they help campers turn off their homosexual feelings and turn on their love of the heterosexual life. Through the lens of satire, Savage Umbrella takes a humorous and thoughtful look at the devastating effects of homophobia and religious zealotry.
 
CONTENT WARNING: Ex-Gays: Not a Str8 Remount is satire. While Camp Str8-N-Arrow is not real, many of the themes discussed during the show are very real. And very harmful. These themes include homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and religious zealotry. The production also contains frank sexual language. Also, cake. Recommended for audiences 16+.
 
Also, check out our Indiegogo campaign to support the show! (And many more new works in the future!)

*Special Note: Camp Str8-N-Arrow is camp in the way that Richard Simmons is camp.
