Our season opener is the beautiful Boys in the Band by Mart Crowley. 9 men gather in a New York apartment for a birthday party. Harold, a self-avowed pock-marked, Jew fairy, receives a surprise gift: a male hustler, and party host, Michael, gets an unwanted surprise of his own in the shape of a figure from his past. As the booze is drunk and the night progresses, the mood swings from hilarity to heart-break.
​
Mart Crowley's 1968 ensemble drama is said to be the first play in which gay characters were openly represented and as such it is a milestone of queer theatre. It is a dark, lively, hilarious, touching, scathing and heart wrenching piece. 
This dark comedy is loaded with an extremely talented cast and directed by our Miriam Goldstein.
