The Boys in the Band

by Mart Crowley

It’s 1968, and a group of friends gather for a birthday party and a festive evening full of music, drinks, and a game of “Truth”. But once fueled by alcohol, tensions rise as the night progresses. This fun ”Truth’ game goes terribly wrong and ends up exposing hidden secrets and bitter unresolved issues, leading to confrontations and emotional outbursts. This groundbreaking play premiered Off-Broadway in 1968. A true theatrical game-changer, The Boys in the Band helped spark a revolution by putting gay men’s lives onstage, unapologetically and without judgment, in a world that was not yet willing to accept them fully.

One Slight Hitch

by Lewis Black

It’s Courtney’s wedding day, and her mom, Delia, is making sure that everything is perfect. The groom is perfect, the dress is perfect, and the decorations (assuming they arrive) will be perfect. Then, like in any good farce, the doorbell rings. And all hell breaks loose. So much for perfection.
