MAKING THE BOYS To Be Released On DVD 11/22
Before Prop 8, "Will & Grace", Ellen, AIDS, Gay Pride Events or The Stonewall Uprising, Mart Crowley's stage play "The Boys in the Band" changed everything as the first ever gay play to successfully reach a mainstream audience.
Crayton Robey's MAKING THE BOYS explores the enduring legacy of the play and subsequent Hollywood movie. Beloved by some for breaking new ground and condemned by others for reinforcing gay stereotypes, "The Boys in the Band" sparked heated controversy that endures to this day.
Featuring interviews with its author Mart Crowley, surviving cast members, and a who's who of Gay icons from stage and screen, this enjoyable documentary captures the behind-the-scenes drama and lasting legacy of this cultural milestone.
With Edward Albee, Mart Crowley, Dominick Dunne, William Friedkin, Carson Kressley, Tony Kushner, Terrence McNally, Robert Wagner and more.
