Funny and clever, "No Homo" is an interesting tale about the nature of friendship, love and being true to oneself. A little predictable, but certainly worth seeing for the fantastic performances. Check it out!...

Bravo - not the network, the exclamation of a job well fucking done of yore. "No Homo" gives the complexities of platonic bromance and the complexities of loving yourself and loving another, romantically, as gay men. Get there, now. If not in LA, fly to New York. No joke, homo...or hetero. PS: Henry McMillan is the stand out star, shining brightly as he delivers a unique rendition of the flaming/catty/sex hungry gay supporting star. WERK, "No Homo"....

Basically...most new plays aren't very good. This one is amazing. It's incredibly thought-provoking--I've never seen a relationship like this depicted on stage before. I've been thinking about this play since I saw it a week ago. Plus, it's hilarious. ...

Sharply directed & slyly written, this story leaves most other dating tales in the dust. Funny as hell but deep with emotion, the cast brings an urgency to a story that has more longing & understanding than most love stories, straight or gay. No Homo....

Brandon Baruch's "No Homo" is a funny and poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships--not just with the people around us but with ourselves. The show leaves its audience with a better understanding of a world not all of us are familiar with, certainly, but more than that, its central message rings true no matter who you are: you can't love anyone if you can't learn to love yourself. I highly recommend it....

Though no mention is made of the Kinsey Scale, this play is rooted in the premise that sexuality is fluid. The playwright, Brandon Baruch, deftly guides his characters into discovering the things they didn't know they wanted. While it could come off as manipulative and contrived it ultimately does not. And, the play's decisive moment unfolds in a very delicate, charming manner. Adding to the mix is Jessica Hanna's direction, which is superb....

This play is fantastic. It's both hilarious and heartbreaking. The subject matter resonates and the situations, the dialogue, and the characters feel authentic. Rarely have I had so much fun as an audience member. The cast nailed it, as did the writer and director. Get your tickets cause they're selling fast!...

A wonderfully assured full length play. Brandon Baruch's script is a gem, the story arc flowing naturally to it's perfectly awkward end, and with dialogue full of nuanced character details--AND funny lines, Baruch has the audience in the palm of his hand from start to finish.
Director Jessica Hanna stages the action, and handles the excellent cast, with aplomb. Every scene, every moment, is focused and engaging--she, too, holds us in rapped attention, allowing these lives to slowly infiltrate our hearts. A definite MUST SEE....

This was a real treat. I laughed constantly. I was interested in the characters and wanted them to come out happy on the other side. Well... most of them anyway. But the most important thing is that I was pulled in and cared so much about the story revealing itself that I was having involuntary physical reactions to it.
The talented playwright, Mr. Baruch, puts forth some theories about the ways in which heterosexual men in close friendships relate to each other that I don't think most heterosexual men would agree are true to life... but in the end, it doesn't matter in this show. It's entertaining and rich enough that quibbles with the logic of it all really fade into the background. This is story about people. Several of which yo...
