Fruit Fly is a musical comedy about Bethesda, a Filipina performance artist finding home in the unlikeliest places.

In the process, she finds an artistic family, clues of her mother’s whereabouts, and the startling possibility that she just might be a fag-hag.

Subplots include her relationship with her roommates in the artist commune, and their relationships with each other.
