About the Project
Eric, an uptight Yale Educated Lawyer and Jason, a free spirit Artist and handyman have been together almost a year to the day. Jason decides spontaneously to “Pop” the question to Eric. After many debates a reluctant Eric agrees, but when he tells his family: a flamboyant and bitter Jewish Mother, a clueless but randy Catholic Doctor Father and his young ditzy former Exotic Dancer Stepmother about the Wedding. Everything becomes chaotic! The Boys are barraged with conflicting advice from family and Friends who think otherwise and when a “Psychic” broken hearted Lesbian Wedding Consult and Eric’s Ex Boyfriend who wants to come back get thrown into the mix things start to become more difficult for the couple. But as the date grows closer Eric begins to feel overwhelmed with the plans for the Wedding and his commitment to Jason. Which begins to seriously endanger his relationship. When Eric begins to have surreal thoughts they take to the stage either in a flashback (like Eric’s Parents’ Divorce) or a surreal scene: A Slasher film or else an episode of Jerry Springer.
Once In A Blue Moon
Blue Moon is the feel good play, Gay-Date play of the year! - The neat thing about Jeffrey Kagan-McCann’s play is that its probably the first Gay date play, meaning that this play features the kind of characters to make Gay and Lesbian people feel good.

The true genius in Kagan-McCann’s Work here lies in the appealing way the appealing way he’s orchestrated his characters, as well this dialogue he’s given them.

Writer/Director Jeffery Kagan-McCann’s Gay Son’s Wedding, improves on the original Blue Moon, with better developed characters and a more compelling and topical story line…I’ll admit I was often laughing with them (the audience).

I found “My Gay Son’s Wedding” to be funny, touching, and insightful. Jeffrey clearly knew how to get a show on its feet and how to communicate, through his directing, the essence of the scenes he had written.
