i’m in love with bigfoot
a folk musical comedy by timothy thomas leech and benjamin walton that asks the big questions: can grassroots activism save the environment from the ravages of late-stage capitalism? can monogamous couples explore non-monogamy ethically? 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 nonprofit, chartreuse truce, and falling more in love each day. but while protesting nefarious billionaire paxton pettibottom iii’s illegal mining operation in the great smoky mountains, they 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?
in development.
