Southern Baptist Sissies is a play written by Del Shores, the creator of Sordid Lives. It is the story of four gay boys who grew up in the Southern Baptist church and the different journey each one takes in coming to terms with their own homosexuality versus what they were taught by the church. Mark becomes a writer, questioning everything. Benny embraces who he is and becomes a drag queen entertainer. T.J. attempts to live as the church tells him to and tries to be straight. Andrew, the most troubled sissy of all, believes the message that there is something truly wrong with who he is and he takes his own life.

The play received rave reviews in Los Angeles during its original run in 2000 and became the most awarded play of the year, winning the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding LA Theater Production, as well as multiple LA Weekly Theater Awards, Los Angeles Critics' Awards, Ovation Awards, Backstage West Garland Awards and Robby Awards.

What are we doing?

We are going to shoot the play live for film!

The original play had such an enormous response and the audience interaction was a huge part of the experience. We are going to shoot four live performances with three cameras, with full houses, and then shoot for additional days for close-ups and additional coverage. A ten-day shoot, to allow the final result to be a beautiful version of a live evening of theatre that looks as though it was shot with fifteen cameras in one performance. An ultra-low budget film, with high quality technical values from experienced theatre and film artists.

Why Southern Baptist Sissies? And why now?

We believe it is imperative to remember that the church and religious-based organizations continue to do damage to innocent children with their hostile opposition to gay civil rights.
