Michael McKeever’s DANIEL’S HUSBAND is a superbly-written reminder that rights for human beings should never be taken for granted. The play starts with a social gathering full of fun, peppered with sharp humor, sophisticated sarcasm, and genuine friendship. Mitchell (Matthew Montelongo) and Daniel (Ryan Spahn) have a seven-year relationship, and although they disagree about the institution of marriage, appear to be the ideal couple. Barry (Lou Liberatore) has a penchant for young boys, and he has brought Trip (Leland Wheeler), his latest acquisition, to the gathering. As so often happens in real life, one event turns the lives of Mitchell and Daniel upside down. It also offers Daniel’s mother (Anna Holbrook) an opportunity to intervene.

McKeever deftly handles a multi-faceted issue by offering up endearing characters that are opinionated, compassionate, wise, and confused – all coping with situations the best they can. It is a thought-provoking piece that encourages us to appreciate and take advantage of the strides that have been made, or as Trip says “Do it because you can.” DANIEL’S HUSBAND will remain with you long after you leave the theatre. Don’t miss this one.
