How far would you go for love? For art? What would you be willing to change? What price might you pay?

Adam, a geeky young student, works part-time in an art museum and video store to pay his way through college. When he meets post-grad art student Evelyn, his life changes as she instils in him a new-found confidence. As she encourages him to change his appearance, soon Adam is attracting attention he has never had before. But how much will he change his perception of himself from what he used to be to what he believes he wants to be?

The production has set and costume design by Peter Butler, lighting design by Anna Reddyhoff and sound design by Asaf Zahor with costume supervisor Alexandra Kharibian and casting director Amy Jane Blair.
