Ruth & Alex McCormick (Christy Summerhays & Jay Perry) are the perfect Mormon couple. Or they were. Reeling from their son’s suicide, they unexpectedly encounter his partner Marcus (Kaplan Keener) for the first time.

An unforgettable journey of faith and family.

Dedicated to the memories of Carol Lynn Pearson (1939-2026), donor Bruce Bastian (1948-2024), and the actor who created the role of Alex, Charles Lynn Frost (1954-2021). Serendipitously, Jay Perry, the original Marcus, now plays Alex.

FACING EAST received its world premiere at Plan-B Theatre (first in Salt Lake City, November 2006 & April 2007; then it transferred off-Broadway at Atlantic Stage 2 in New York, May-June 2007; and then it toured to Theatre Rhinoceros in San Francisco, August 2007). Directed by Jerry Rapier, it featured Charles Lynn Frost as Alex, Jayne Luke as Ruth, and Jay Perry as Marcus. That nearly year-long production received myriad awards, including Best Drama from Deseret News and Best Original Play from Salt Lake City Weekly. FACING EAST has since received dozens of productions and now we’re bringing it home.
