WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Boys in the Band represents a major milestone in American theatre as the first play to openly portray the pleasures, miseries and private lives of gay men. Set during Harold's 32nd birthday party, the evening begins as a hilarious and spirited celebration among friends until unexpected guests and games reveal tensions that unravel these men's souls. The party moves to a heart-wrenching, and climactic end.
The Boys in the Band Gala Opening Night is on Friday, February 19th, 2010 at 7:00pm, and includes a post-performance reception with the cast and creative team. Proceeds benefit Transport Group Theatre Company.
