TORCH SONG

By Harvey Fierstein

Directed by Craig Johnson

May 4 - 19, 2024  

Arnold Beckoff is a drag queen in New York City. What does he want in life? Happiness! A husband, a child, and respect from his Jewish mother! Taking place in the 1970/80s, the award-winning comedy Torch Song Trilogy helped set the stage for the emergence of LGBTQIA+ rights and the fight for human dignity. Updated by the playwright in 2017, with tenderness and great humor, Torch Song reminds us how fragile those rights remain.
