 DIRECTOR'S NOTES 

Prince Charming, You're Late is a true tale of wanting and the need to fulfill your fantasy. Making the square peg fit in the round hole and thinking "It looks fine." 

 

I first read this script with the belief that this was a singular story about a gay man's crush. I thought, "Well, that's our audience, I guess." As time went on and the show took shape I found myself remembering that my 10th grade crush was on my choral teacher. My crush at age 22 was my brother's best friend. Then there was my co-worker, the bartender, the cop,the nurse giving me a flu shot, the one who said 'hello', the one who remembered my name. All of them. All unattainable. That is why we call them CRUSHES. And they are universal.

 

So, as you take our journey, I hope you will see some of yours.
