HMT and The Shuster Reading Series present a staged reading of Roberto
Aguirre-Sacassa's romantic-comedy "Based on a Totally True Story".

A contemporary comedy that moves at the speed of lightning, BASED ON A
TOTALLY TRUE STORY chronicles the hilarious, bittersweet misadventures of
twenty-something New Yorker Ethan Keene. A semi-successful comic book writer
by day (he writes The Flash for DC Comics) and struggling playwright by night,
Ethan's world is turned upside down when a veteran Hollywood producer
decides she wants to turn one of Ethan's unproduced plays into a big-budget
horror movie—possibly starring Nicole Kidman. With that tasty carrot
clouding his vision, Ethan struggles to be a loving, supportive, giving
partner to his boyfriend Michael Sullivan, a Village Voice reporter and
budding novelist. On top of which, Ethan's lovable dad announces that he's
leaving Ethan's mom for a married woman—and can he please stay with Ethan
and Michael until he finds a new place to live? Hearts are broken, lessons
learned, and dreams deferred in this quirky, offbeat romantic comedy of
manners.
