We are thrilled to have been given the thumb’s up from The Harold Greenberg Fund’s development program for Thomas Michael and Paolo Mancini’s final draft of their new dramatic comedy Out Late.

After more than fifty years of repression, retired widower Angelo Borelli decides he can no longer live a lie and finally admits to himself that he’s gay. As he slowly journeys “out of the closet”, Angelo experiences a reawakening and maybe even the potential for real love. But when his three blue-collar grown children discover his secret, they refuse to accept that their macho Italian dad is gay. Each in their own way fights the truth and each in their own way must come to terms with it.
