LOOKING FOR BILLY HAINES

 

A romantic comedy set in present-day New York City. Jamie Hollis, a struggling actor, scores an audition for a feature film about Billy Haines, a real life gay movie star of the 1920s and '30s who gave up his career to remain in a public relationship with his partner. Billy's story, along with Jamie's rather vibrant imagination and his three colorful roommates, helps him realize that he needs to make some decisions about his own unsatisfying relationship with a closeted man. By Suzanne Brockmann and Will McCabe, with music by Barry Singer.

 

Cast:

Jason T. Gaffney, Joseph Cullinane, Jason Michael Butler, Apolonia Davalos, Annie Kerins, and Eric Ruben.

Signs of Life

 

When a musical has as its setting a concentration camp, singing and dancing don't immediately pop into one's head.

Clybourne Park

 

Bruce Norris' ingenious Clybourne Park sharply stings and then bites while it dances around the tenuous civilities practiced in race relations.

Hostage Song

"Taking a hostage situation in a nameless war-torn country and turning it into an indie-rock musical, Clay McLeod Chapman's ferocious talent seems to know no boundaries."

Venus in Fur

"The fun begins with a crash of thunder, a flash of lightning and the sudden appearance of John Lee Beatty’s set for Venus in Fur at the Classic Stage Company. Adapted by David Ives from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 "Venus in Furs", we are privy to an S and M duet and all that that implies."

Ages of the Moon

"You know Sam Shepard is feeling his age while you watch his play, Ages of the Moon, where two men in their 60's face their upcoming infirmities just around the corner with death not far behind that."

Ernest in Love

"It's almost redundant to make a musical out of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest, but the score of just such a musical entitled Ernest in Love by Anne Croswell (book and lyrics) and Lee Pockriss (music) is charming enough with a nod to Gilbert and Sullivan and with enough of the original play intact that the experience is an enjoyable one."

Zero Hour

"In the bio-play, Zero Hour, Jim Brochu captures the man’s zest for living and his painful anger at things unjust and baffling as well as conveying Mostel’s signature quirks."
