The coming-out process isn’t easy. In fact, it’s terrifying. Shamim Sarif’s I Can’t Think Straight gives viewers a glimpse of this scary time with the story of Leyla and Tala. New to London, both are from affluent families, and both are in relationships with men. And after Leyla’s boyfriend takes her to play tennis with his friend Tala, both realize that they’re in love with each other. Fri. Oct. 16, 7 p.m., Tampa Theatre.
