The Tempermentals

$20, front row, Michael Urie (A.K.A. Mark St. James on Ugly Betty).

A small stage for a big message. Very impressed at what 4 chairs and little lighting design can do!

“Temperamental” was code for “homosexual” in the early 1950’s, part of a created language of secret words that gay men used to communicate. The Temperamentals tells the story of two men – the communist Harry Hay and the Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich – as they fall in love while building the first gay rights organization in the pre-Stonewall United States.
