Happy Medium Theatre Presents STANDING ON CEREMONY: THE GAY MARRIAGE PLAYS Tonight
Happy Medium Theatre (HMT) presents a one-night-only, free staged reading of Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays tonight, December 9, at 7:30pm, in the Moonshine Room of Club Café, 209 Columbus Avenue, Boston.
About the Production - Saying two simple words might be the biggest challenge of your life. But what if the battle started before saying "I do," and continued long after the ceremony? In Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays, prolific playwrights Moise?s Kaufman (The Laramie Project), Paul Rudnick (Jeffrey), and Neil LaBute (The Shape of Things), among others, offer their own unique takes on the issues of equality, the universality of love, and the challenges and humor of living with someone for a lifetime. These short plays form an evening of theatre ripe for discussion, following the current legislation and litigation across the United States revolving around marriage equality.
A panel discussion will follow the staged reading, led by:
Attorney Janson Wu, Executive Director of Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) ? Professor Katharine B. Silbaugh, Professor of Law at Boston University School of Law
- Mal Malme, Co-Founder of Queer Soup Theatre & Performer
