The Bent: THE BOYS IN THE BAND at Palm Springs Cultural Center
The Bent: THE BOYS IN THE BAND
THE BOYS IN THE BAND by Mart Crowley, is “the” play that defined gay theater when it premiered Off-Broadway in 1968. It is a ground-breaking portrayal of gay life in New York City during that era as a group of friends gather for a funny, but volatile birthday party that tests the boundaries of friendship.
The play was immediately made into a film with its original cast that enjoys cult status in the gay community. It was then revived on Broadway for its 50th anniversary with an all-star cast and then made into another film. These iconic characters don’t always cast a pretty image of gay life in the 1960s, but they do skillfully reflect the pain, struggle and humanity of our past—much of which is still all too relevant today.
The Bent, in association with The Palm Springs Cultural Center is pleased to present THE BOYS IN THE BAND as the grand finale of our first season as Palm Springs new LGBTQ+ theater.
Directed by Steve Rosenbaum. Featuring Terry Ray, Scott Hill, Grey LeFey, Scott Khouri, Tony Bradford, Matthew Yenesel, Kevin Steinberg, and Peter Grey
