The sacred texts have been discovered.

Did you know that some of Hollywood’s most iconic movies were gay gay gay?

Our intrepid researchers have discovered the original scripts of Titanic (with lesbians), Sunset Boulevard (with a trans woman) and The Social Network (with kissing) before the Hollywood suits forced the straight agenda on them.

For the first time in history, these seminal texts of queer culture have been discovered and read aloud in front of a bunch of gays.

Expect true love, divas, sexual tension and many euphemisms.

Discovered and edited by playwrights Cassandra Tse, Jamie Cain and Matthew Loveranes.

Starring Zachary Klein, Rachel McLean, Lincoln Swinerd, Ruby Carter, Mike Bryant, Cassandra Tse, Jamie Cain and Matthew Loveranes.

Once Upon a Time in Homowood is a celebration of the LGBTTQIA+ community in a way that is silly, playful and unabashed in its queerness.

Cinema and theatre are vital for queer people to see themselves represented both in explicitly queer texts as well as queer-coded works. Once Upon a Time in Homowood makes the coded canon, a fan fic of what if Jack from Titanic was a soft butch? What if Norma Desmond transitioned and Hollywood ditched her? What if Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin kissed?

These silly 'what ifs' underlie an important kaupapa of claiming work that feels like ours because so little of art is.
