Review: A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE at The Bent

The Bent, the Coachella Valley’s LGBTQ+ theatre company, is presenting its first musical, A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, written by Terrence McNally (book), Stephen Flaherty (music), and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics).

The brilliant acting, singing, directing, and design make this show a must-see.
