Written by Mart Crowley and premiering in 1968, this bold, witty, and emotional story centers on a group of gay friends gathering for a birthday party in New York City. What begins as a night of celebration slowly unravels into an unflinching exploration of identity, friendship, and self-acceptance. At a time when LGBTQ+ voices were rarely heard on stage, The Boys in the Band dared to tell an honest and unapologetic story, one that remains powerful and relevant today.
THE BOYS IN THE BAND will be performed in the Firemen's Kitchen at The Hickory Community Theatre
