Thirteen stories. One evening. Baker’s Dozen is a rapid-fire, raw, authentic exploration of the gay experience, weaving together gentle humor, stinging tragedy, and the quiet beauty of aging. Playwright Donald E. Baker curates a vivid tapestry of 13 short works that span generations. Minimalist in staging but maximalist in emotional impact, the production moves seamlessly from the humor of everyday life to the profound echoes of the past—addressing everything from the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic to a life-altering encounter in a public restroom, the deep tensions of religion, and the painful path to healing from childhood sexual abuse.

In the sun-drenched housing projects of Thamesmead, neighbors Jamie and Ste find an unexpected refuge in one another. Though one is introverted and the other a popular athlete, they forge a deep bond over their complex home lives and awakening identities. Beautiful Thing is a tender "urban fairytale" that captures the raw, exhilarating rush of first love. It is a poignant celebration of the courage it takes to be oneself, proving that hope can blossom in the most unlikely of places.
