Facing East

Ruth & Alex McCormick (Christy Summerhays & Jay Perry) are the perfect Mormon couple. Or they were. Reeling from their son’s suicide, they unexpectedly encounter his partner Marcus (Kaplan Keener) for the first time. An unforgettable journey of faith and family. Dedicated to the memories of Carol Lynn Pearson (1939-2026), donor Bruce Bastian (1948-2024), and the actor who created the role of Alex, Charles Lynn Frost (1954-2021). Serendipitously, Jay Perry, the original Marcus, now plays Alex.
