Capitol Hill based musician John Coons has teamed up with local filmmaker Alex Berry to create a web miniseries based on Coons’ one-man show, “Six Months for Six Weeks.”

“Six Months,” which was performed at the now defunct Grill on Broadway as a fundraiser for Washington United for Marriage, is a semi-autobiographical one-man show built around original songs and an honest, funny, and heart-breaking new piece of queer theater. It tells the story of two twenty-something men in Portland, Maine, their six-week “relationship with an expiration date” and its aftermath, set against 2009’s “Question 1” same-sex marriage debate. Alternatively tender and satirical, “Six Months” looks at the definitions and value we place on relationships in our changing world.

Alex Berry is a local filmmaker who you may know from his series of Jinkx Monsoon mini-documentaries, “Drag Becomes Him.” John Coons has shared the stage with popular artists Ben Folds, Amanda Palmer, and Ben Folds, and is currently a soloist with the Seattle Opera. The two are currently raising funds to facilitate the creation of the webseries.
