Synopsis: Noah, Alex, Ricky, Chance and their significant others travel to Martha’s Vineyard for a weekend wedding getaway. Drama ensues as one-by-one their relationships start to crack under the pressure of closer examination. Newly successful screenwriter Noah looks to his friends for advice as he prepares to move his relationship to a more serious level while struggling to keep his first studio movie alive. But the friends are of little help as they juggle their own issues. Elder statesmen Chance and Eddie attempt to scratch their seven-year itch but worry their marriage has permanently lost its spark. And playboy Ricky flaunts his barely legal college student fling in the face of his monogamous friends but hides a surprising secret that threatens to rock the house. Add to the mix Alex’s crazy-making wedding prep, a closeted superstar rapper, a high-maintenance studio exec, and a surprise visitor and you’ve got the makings of a hilarious and poignant romantic comedy.

This incredibly potent documentary film provides a glimpse into the women´s dreams, hopes, desires and obligations. From a lesbian soccer coach to a lesbian activist and mother, each of the women featured have contended with discrimination and invisibility, though none has compromised her sexuality. They share stories about their first fantasies, the consequences of coming out, the desire to have kids, and of love between women in a culture of machismo.

allgo Presents: Promised Land

December 4 & 5, 2009             8:00 PM

December 11 & 12, 2009        8:00 PM

PROMISED LAND is the story of one queer Latino boy’s search for love, liberation, and a working toilet in the Tennessee woods. After years spent looking for romance in the wilderness of San Francisco, Austin performer Rudy Ramirez traveled to Radical Fairyland, a haven for the queerest of the queer in the Appalachian mountains. The next 24 hours changed his life forever. Now he’s taking audiences with him (don’t worry, it’s only an hour this time). to experience the vegan pot pie dinners, radical queer ninjas, freezing cabins, mountains covered in vanilla frosting, a store called Gay Identities ‘r’ Us, and, most terrifying of all, outhouses. It’s a story of finding yourself–and maybe even someone to make out with–in the most unlikely of places.

RUDY RAMIREZ is a writer, performer, and director living in Austin, Texas. After getting his start at Camp Camp Queer Performance, he became a founding member of Spike Gillespie’s The Dick Monologues (2007-2009), playing to sold out houses in Austin and Dallas, and served as director for the show after the first year. His performance at 5 Things Austin got him an invite for their anniversary show in Sept 2009. He is the co-writer with Laura Freeman of the musical Luna Tart Died (2008), and has created performance pieces for The Rhizome Collective, Radical Encuentro, and most recently The Austin Bike Zoo, creating and directing Wheels of Wonderland (2009), which Russ Hartman of AustinDaze called, “a great representation of why I love this town . . . a production of shining creativity.” As an actor, he has worked with humdrum collective and is a member of The Vortex Company. Ryan Johnson of Austin.com says, “when he’s on stage, he steals the show . . . with the audience enjoying every minute of it.” PROMISED LAND is his first full length one-man show.
