Directed by David Goldyn, this limited Off-Broadway engagement begins previews September 29 at Theatre at St. Clement's with opening night slated for Thursday, October 6.
In DADDY ISSUES, it is 1982 and Donald Moscowitz has overbearing parents. They disapprove of his choice of profession (actor), his flair for decorating (pastels) and his lifestyle (homosexual). The one thing that would make them happy is a grandchild. His solution: hire the ten-year old kid downstairs to play his son. What could possibly go wrong?
