5Q: Calvin Berger “5Q” is an online-only column featuring five questions about stage productions in the Metro Area with a special focus on the GLBTQ community’s relationship to the production. Periodically, “5Q” will take the form of an interview with actors, directors, writers, etc. to shed some light on the production process. Based loosely on the play, Cyrano de Bergerac, Calvin Berger is the story of unrequited feelings, love notes, and physical insecurity among four high school seniors. Calvin is smitten by the beautiful Rosanna, but the size of his nose prevents his declaration of love. Rosanna, in turn, is attracted to the handsome newcomer, Matt, who is painfully shy and inarticulate around her, although the attraction is mutual. Hoping to get closer to Rosanna through his eloquent love notes, Calvin offers to be Matt’s “speech writer,” all the while ignoring signals from another girl, his best friend, Bret. When the deception unravels, everybody’s friendship is seriously jeopardized.
