Noah's Arc

Sunday, October 17, 9:30pm

Noah, Alex, Ricky, and Chance are four African-American friends living the gay life in Los Angeles. Noah is a struggling screenwriter embarking on a love affair with a newly out and much more successful screenwriter. HIV/AIDS counselor Alex always keeps it real with his clients but struggles to do the same with his hot doctor boyfriend. Ricky, the playboy of the group, owns a hip clothing store on Melrose, while college professor Chance has recently married, and has adopted his partner’s three-year-old daughter after a whirlwind courtship. Throw in an amorous teaching assistant, a seductive store clerk, and a flamboyantly fabulous fashion designer, and you’ve got a recipe for delicious drama, side-splitting comedy, and steamy, shocking sexuality. Full of humor, pathos and insight, NOAH’S ARC, directed by Patrick-Ian Polk (PUNKS), gives today’s black gay community an intelligent and long-awaited voice in a sea of mainstream gay and lesbian programming.
