Ira and Larry were Hebrew school classmates who took different paths in life. Ira came out and moved to the city; Larry got married, had a family and came out later in life. Now, following the 2016 election, they're spending one memorable weekend together with Larry's son Bryan, Ira's nephew Christopher and a whole lot of gay history.
The cast will feature Brian Gilgor* (Mark in the international tour of RENT), Joseph J. Menino* (Edward R. Murrow in Murrow with Phoenix Theatre Ensemble) Marc Sinoway (Hunting Season on LOGOtv.com), and R. Scott Williams* (1st National Tour of Adventures of Tom Sawyer). *Actor appears courtesy of the Actors Equity Association
