WHEN JOEY MET BOBBY Transfers To Roy Arias Theatre 3/12
On Friday, March 12th, When Joey Married Bobby by William Wyatt is being transferred for an open-ended run at the Roy Arias Theatre, located at 300 W 43rd St, Ste 506 New York, NY in the newly renovated Times Square Arts Center.
When Joey Married Bobby, starring Lady Bunny, two-time S.A.G.Award Nominee Tina McKissick and introducing former Detroit Tiger Pitcher Matthew Pender as Joey, opened on February 6, 2010 for an open-ended run at Off-Broadway house Theatre 80 St. Marks, between 1st & 2nd Avenues. In attendance at the opening night were Fred Schneider (The B-52's), Frank DeCaro (Sirius Radio), Randy Jones (The Village People), singer Athena Reich and Mike Diamond (LOGO).
From the comic mind, of GLAAD Award winning playwright, William Wyatt (Peachtree Battle, A Sunday Afternoon At Loehmans, The Limousine Ride and Veranda) comes a tale about gay marriage in an ultra conservative household. Bright-eyed hunk Joey (Matthew Pender) has finally met the man of his dreams and ready to take a plunge into marriage. The thought of a gay wedding has Joey's southern socialite mother Sarah Edwards (Tina McKissick) in quite a tizzy. Worried that the news of her son's nuptials might jeopardize her chances of winning "Christian of the Year," Sarah stops at nothing to protect her name, image and reputation. The legendary Lady Bunny co-stars in the play as the power-wielding, Baptist Minister's Wife, Charity Divine.
The play opened February 6, 2010 at Theatre 80 St. Marks and will now be performed at the Roy Arias Theatre in Times Square. For more information visit www.theatre80.org.
The play runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm.
