WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Addressing the issues of both homophobia and domestic abuse, Peter Mac's Judy and Me recounts the true story of gay teenager Anthony, trapped in the narrow-minded suburb of Elmont, Long Island. He finds his only escape in the music and entertainment of the iconic Judy Garland, who comes to life before his very eyes and counsels him through his daily struggles. Charles Tolliver directs.
The play originally played in a cabaret theater engagement at Rose's Turn and went on to a nearly three-year run, transferring along the way to the Arthur Seelen Theatre and then The Producers Club.

Its memorable and heart-stirring. Everyone should see it! Its an act of love. All of America should see Judy and Me--and tell others about it! You can see Im a big Judy and Me fan--and a Judy Garland fan--and now a Peter Mac fan.--Carla Marie Rupp

In Peter Mac's Judy and Me, now at St. Luke's Theatre, a young gay man learns how to cope with his often harsh life thanks to imagined conversations he has with film icon Judy Garland. As this brief description might indicate, this sweetly earnest work doesn't exactly escape the clichés and stereotypes associated with gay male identity, nor does director Charles Tolliver's slack pacing help matters by deadening the few actually funny moments within the script.
In the play, Anthony (Christopher Brick) keeps skipping his high school classes to escape the persecution he feels from his fellow students. His bedroom is his refuge, where he can listen to his beloved Judy Garland records a[...]
