Set in Seattle’s late-90s LGBTQ+ and AIDS crisis, this play follows Rev. Frank Robinson, a Lutheran pastor conflicted by his own gender identity, who risks his position and reputation by hosting the funeral of Aaron, a gay man who died of AIDS, against the wishes of conservative church leaders. As Aaron’s grieving family and chosen family collide, the church becomes an unlikely battleground where prejudice, compassion, and the possibility of transformation come sharply into focus. Through moments of resistance, secret self-discovery, and radical hospitality, Rev. Robinson and a small group of congregants begin imagining a church that welcomes those historically pushed out—an effort that echoes decades later, when the now-transitioned Rev. Francine Robinson is recognized for the life-changing space she helped build. Based on real events, this is a poignant story of loss, community, and the quiet rebellion of creating refuge in a hostile world.
