Peter Parnell’s DADA WOOF PAPA HOT takes a sharp, unwavering look at two affluent gay couples in NYC who finally get the families, weddings, and surrogate babies they fought for—only to find themselves suffocated by the mundane traps of parenting. As the straight culture embraces them, they realize they have traded their urban, sexual freedom for stroller politics and marital boredom. It is a funny, sexy, brutal, and deeply provocative story about what happens when you get exactly what you wish for, only to realize you miss the thrill of the closet.
