Written & Performed by Johnnie McNamara Walker
Johnnie Walker, one of Toronto’s foremost Gay, Ginger, Millennial Playwright-Performers, presents a deep-dive into the shocking world of Heterosexuality!
THEY WALK AMONG US! But where did they come from? And what do they think they’re wearing? Find out in this explosive solo show based on undercover research gathered while posing as one of their own! Combining elements of storytelling, satire, comedy, and deep personal humiliation, The Heterosexuals is here to spill the T on what The Queers really think about The Straights.
