In Recovery Mode, Matt, an upwardly mobile, out gay man leads zany therapist Susan through his continuous breakups and makeups with his deeply closeted blue-collar, bisexual boyfriend Tom. The two have nothing in common except each other... and sometimes not even that. Filling out the production is Matt's college BFF Marc; a one-night stand named Sean, who made him believe in love again; and country bumpkin Adam, whose talent is best left to the imagination. What should have been a 45-minute hookup from a dating app became a tumultuous four-year relationship, a one-man show by Matthew Chrehan-Higgins, and now a full-length stage production by Matt Burlingame. Based on true-life experiences, Recovery Mode is a comedy about getting over Mr. Wrong.
