SkyPilot Theatre Presents The Emancipation of Alabaster McGill

SkyPilot Theatre Company presents The World Premiere of The Emancipation of Alabaster McGill by Jeff Goode

Ripped from the headlines! Of 1865! A Civil War border town is gripped by controversy when the dreaded Emancipation Proclamation threatens to redefine freedom as they know it. The city's most eligible sea captain, the deacon of the local church brothel and the friendly neighborhood Klansman are united by their mutual hatred of that liberal pantywaist Lincoln. And there's only one way to stop him...No, not bullets! (Okay, two ways.)
"The Emancipation of Alabaster McGill" - a play about gay unions in a confederate closet.
