Homosexual themed play

do musicals count?

Plays...shorter plays, at that. LVC sounds good. Who publishes it?

I need publishers too.

You can find it on amazon for like $8, but if you mean who you can write to get the performance rights to, I don't know. A theatre teacher at your school should know, or be able to find out for you, though.

Thanks!

Except for Bent sounds really dramatic...

Look at Torch Song Trilogy--each act can be done as a separate play--the 3rd act being the best, perhaps.

Also, look at Harvey's play Safe Sex.

Auntie Mame. End of discussion.

Jeffrey (silly but really not that long of a play)

If I was at home I could give you some titles, but I have sevearl anthologies of queer plays and solo pieces. One is is called Solohomo I think. I want to say that I purchased most of them at Barnes and Nobles.

I LOVE that play. One of my favorite reads. You know...it's funny...you don't even know there is a gay plot until the second act. This would be a great show for you to do. Not a lot of cast members...really one unit set if I remember correctly.
