i’m in love with bigfoot

a folk musical comedy by timothy thomas leech and benjamin walton that explores the big question. can grassroots activism save the environment from the ravages of late-stage capitalism? can traditionally monogamous couples introduce non-monogamy in an ethical way? and most importantly…is bigfoot hot?

beau and cassidy are the perfect couple. they’ve spent their ten-year relationship pursuing their passions, protecting the environment through their non-profit, chartreuse truce, and falling more in love each day. but when protesting nefarious billionaire paxton pettibottom iii’s illegal mining operation in the protected great smoky mountains, beau and cassidy join forces with an unlikely ally – the infamous cryptid, bigfoot. together with this sex-positive, pansexual, nine-foot-tall smokeshow, beau and cassidy must save the forest – but can they save their strictly monogamous relationship from temptation?
