Some bears are going to this on March 9. Join us. If you can't go that night, be sure to attend another night as this is a very very funny play!

StageQ is delighted to announce its production of the comedy The Gays of Our Lives by Claudia Allen, directed by Tara Ayres. The show opens Friday, March 9, 2007 and runs through Saturday, March 31 at The Bartell Theatre at 113 E. Mifflin Street in Madison.

The Gays of Our Lives is an antic comedic romp. With tongue firmly in cheek, it skewers the soap opera genre with hilarious results. The story revolves around one family: Tip, the matriarch, quits her data entry job to join the crew of an oil tanker and see the world, while all hell breaks lose, at home and abroad. Sex, murder, intrigue, secret affairs, illegitimate children, evil prison matrons, corrupt government officials; The Gays of Our Lives has them all!  Playwright Claudia Allen penned two other popular StageQ productions: Hannah Free and Dutch Love.

This is PHMC's most politcally-charged concert to date, addressing family-oriented themes in response to the state's proposed Anti-same sex Marriage Amendment coming on our ballots in November, and will conclude with Randall Thompson's "Testament of Freedom", with lyrics by Thomas Jefferson.
