Christopher Borg, Desmond Dutcher, Elizabeth Whitney et al. Set for Benefit Reading of Doric Wilson’s West Street Gang

Eric C. Bailey, Alex Bond, Christopher Borg, Ron Bopst, J.Stephen Brantley, Marc Castle, Johnathan Cedano, Desmond Dutcher, Rick Hinkson, Oliver Houser, Robert Locke, Nick Mathews, Jim Nugent, Aaron Tone, Chris Weikel, and Elizabeth Whitney will be featured in a pay-what-you-can benefit reading of Doric Wilson’s The West Street Gang, at ART/NY, on Saturday, January 29, at 7pm. Mark Finley will direct.

In the piece, the patrons of a shabby waterfront gay club are forced
to band together to defend themselves against a variety of fag bashers — from
street punks to political opportunists to media raptors — and then Anita Bryant walks through the door. The political satire was produced as environmental theater at the Spike Bar in 1977.

The evening will benefit TOSOS (The Other Side of Silence), which is celebrating the opening of the 10th season after its revival in 2002.
