It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.

A bit about Whangarei PROUD!
Whangārei PROUD grew out of a glorious and growing Rainbow social community in Te Tai Tokerau.
Seated in our unique location next to Whangarei-te-rerenga-parāroa under the gaze of Mount Manaia and Parihaka…...we PROUD-ly uphold our connections to mana whenua and our diverse ways of being authentic to ourselves and our tūpuna with events that celebrate our spectrum of expressions as gender and sexual minorities.
