DOWNSTAIRS, FRONT at Powerhouse Theatre/Town Players of New Canaan

In the "stone ages" before Stonewall, Russ and Steve are in love and trying to live a normal life, hidden away in a small apartment building in Brooklyn, far from Steve's office in Manhattan. But different dreams demand different sacrifices, and soon the men are struggling to stay together. Ultimately they must choose what is essential and what they must give up in order to live the lives they want. A Concert reading of a new play by Rachel A. Levine. Narrated by Leslie Brin Andrews. Directed by Frank S. Petrilli with Melissa Roth, Ryan McCurdy, Willy Cappuccio and Tygar Hicks.
