Synopsis: Torch Song is based on Harvey Fierstein’s original 1982 seminal work Torch Song Trilogy that celebrates gay culture and its evolution over the span of the late 1970s and ‘80s. In Fierstein’s newly revised two-act version, Torch Song follows the life of Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing, Jewish drag queen living in New York City. Told with a likable, human voice, Torch Song follows Arnold’s odyssey through his cynical disillusionment with love to find happiness. All he wants is a husband, a child, and a pair of bunny slippers that fit, but a visit from his overbearing mother reminds him that he needs one thing more than perhaps anything else: respect.
ARNOLD— 25-30s. Male-Presenting, Jewish. A kvetch of great wit and want. Witty, personable, and pleasant in appearance.
ED— 35-40s; Male-Presenting, Any Ethnicity; handsome with a boyish charm and innocence.
LAUREL— 35; Female-Presenting, Any Ethnicity. Rather unfancy in appearance. Thoughtful and bright, though she shows a girlish enthusiasm.
ALAN— 18; Male-Presenting. Any Ethnicity; Shamefully beautiful. A frightened child in hustler’s clothing.
DAVID— 18+ to play 15 (going on thirty); Male-Presenting, Any Ethnicity. A wonderfully bright and handsome boy.
MA— 60s; Female-Presenting. Arnold’s Mother. A real Jewish mother. A fighter.
