A play with music. Private “Mac” McAllister is assigned as accompanist for Miss Lily Arthur, a singer who entertains the troops, and who is the drag alter ego of Captain Arthur Lily. When Mac is asked to do a “sister act” with Lily, he finds himself at odds and in a romantic tangle with Arthur and Captain Connie Heller of the Women's Army Corps. The play traces Mac’s awakening as a proud gay man on the threshold of the post-war homophile movement.
It’s 1977 and things are looking up for Prof. Julian Chapel - he has a new exhibition and a new boyfriend. But scandal erupts when the Dean believes a homoerotic painting is a portrait of Roberto, one of Julian’s graduate students. An older, closeted colleague advises Julian to remove the painting, but Roberto wants him to fight for artistic freedom. Before Julian can decide, the painting mysteriously disappears. Set in the early days of the modern gay rights movement, Floating Down to Camelot is a comedy about love, art, and finding allies in unlikely places.
The Raft is a queer re-mix of The Tempest, and explores the integration of our intellectual capacities and physical appetites. Phillip, the son of the Duke of Milan, is exiled for refusing to support his father’s imperialist ambitions. He lives at sea on a raft kept afloat by his magic. His other needs are supplied by his mother Galene, a Nereid. Reality intrudes when Fernando, a sailor, climbs onto the raft after his ship is destroyed in a tempest. As Fernando heals from his injuries, the two men bond. That relationship is tested when Galene reveals her hidden agenda for her son. NOTE: adult themes and language, depiction of sexual activity
