ActOut presents The Boys in the Band by Mart Crowley, an iconic piece of LGBTQ+ theater that speaks to both gay and gay-friendly audiences and creates a present-day cultural awareness of the LGBTQ+ community by addressing the present through the past. Recently experiencing a critically acclaimed Broadway revival, this still-relevant play explores the lives of nine men who gather for a birthday party on a Saturday evening in New York. Through the course of the play, they confront issues such as self-loathing, homophobia and bigotry that were prevalent among LGBTQ+ people in the day — and are very much alive in 2019.
