WHAT:
Standing On Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays - A funny, provocative evening of new plays by award-winning playwrights starring a rotating celebrity cast to benefit marriage equality. This engaging theatrical event of nine exciting short plays includes a "wedding reception" audience talkback following each performance. Come for the shows but stay for the cake! A portion of the net proceeds will benefit the work of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.

THIS WEEK'S CELEBRITY CAST:*

Nate Corddry
Mo Gaffney
John Getz
Judy Greer
Justina Machado
Joshua Malina
Kathy Najimi


THE PLAYS:

The Revision by JorDan Harrison - an amusing look at how two men might rewrite their vows to more accurately reflect the limited options available to a gay couple
White Marriage by Jeffery Hatcher, in which a wife and husband discuss his "gay" sense of humor
London Mosquitoes by Moisés Kaufmann - a widower tries to make sense of the loss of his long-time lover
This Marriage Is Saved by Joe Keenan, a satiric vignette in which a disgraced evangelist and his wife insist that his fling with a male prostitute has strengthened their marriage.
Strange Fruit by Neil LaBute - the story of two men in love whose plans to get married "the old-fashioned way" are stymied when reality rears its ugly head
This Flight Tonight by Wendy MacLeod - Is there any hope for happiness when a lesbian marriage begins in IOWA?
Outlaw Wedding, written and performed by Kathy Najimi - an hilarious and affectionate recounting of a same-sex "outlaw" wedding by "Aunt Maddie"
Pablo and Andrew at the Altar of Words by José Rivera - two men use their marriage vows to "say the things we never really say"
The Gay Agenda by Paul Rudnick - a sadly hilarious plea for understanding by an Ohio homemaker and member of Focus on the Family
