LEZ BE FRIENDS

About Me

From the producer of BOY CULTURE, Stephen Israel, and the director of BOYCHICK, Glenn Gaylord, comes a new feature-length sitcom, LEZ BE FRIENDS. Ricca Pike is a butch lesbian who must pretend to be a straight girl in order to live with her two gay male roommates lest she incur the wrath of their lesbo-phobic landlord, Truman DuBois (played by THE COMEBACK's Robert Michael Morris). Set the day after the Stonewall Riots in 1969 Greenwich Village, LEZ BE FRIENDS is a loving homage to the great Norman Lear sitcoms of the 70s with an even gayer twist on THREE'S COMPANY than anyone thought possible!
