Join NewFest for an evening at Mart Crowley’s play The Boys In The Band
Presented by TRANSPORT GROUP THEATRE COMPANY featuring a special NewFest post-performance Q&A with playwright Mart Crowley!
Mart Crowley’s The Boys in the Band originally played Off-Broadway in 1968 and opened as a major motion picture in 1970. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see one of the theatre’s most groundbreaking plays re-imagined in a non-traditional theatrical venue by the award-winning TRANSPORT GROUP THEATRE COMPANY. Our special NewFest night also gives you the opportunity to meet its playwright Mart Crowley and director Jack Cummings III.
The 1968 party-set is staged as a site-specific environmental production in the Penthouse level of 37 West 26th Street, between 6th Avenue and Broadway. Join us on Thursday night, February 25th at 8pm to help support LGBT theater & film at the same time!
