New Conservatory Theatre Center will present the next show in a lineup of bold, queer theatre with Gods & Monsters. Based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Bram, and written & adapted by Tom Mullen, this haunting story will take the stage this March under the direction of M. Graham Smith.
