Videofag is proud to present Love Me Forever Billy H. Tender as part of their
final storefront season.
"I want to tell you about a day. January 31st, 2021. It wasn’t that long ago, I believe. It was like the zeitgeist finally saw itself in the mirror, and it wasn’t sure whether to fight or flirt, so it kind of did both and just ate itself. It was a Sunday, clear skies but cold."
– Hal Tender (second son of Stella Virginia Tender [former classical Canadian stage actress, now research assistant in the U. of Guelph's Post-Audience Theatre Theory and Semiotics Department], younger brother of the one, the only, Billy H. Tender)
Love Me Forever Billy H. Tender is a near-future tragedy about a pop star turned folk artist, his academic mother engaging in less-than-academic behaviour, and his younger brother attempting to recall the mysterious events of January 31st, 2021. It blends narrative, music and improv to engage the audience in the future of fame, family and phone sex.
