Jon Marans' play takes its title from the 1950s code word for homosexual, and tells the story of communist Harry Hay and young Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich, founders of the pre-Stonewall gay rights organization, The Mattachine Society. The cast also features Thomas Jay Ryan, Arnie Burton, Matthew Schneck, and Sam Breslin Wright. Jonathan Silverstein directs the production.
