Nice event. Good actors. Lily Tomlin (reading the action) had a cold or something but that's not her fault. Good writing too! And for a good cause. Down with Proposition 8!

One of the most tender performances I've seen in a while. As you watch the actors speak the lines of the stories that weave through the vignettes, the stage, microphones, and scripts disappear - in front of you is a bar or a park or an ocean front.
Full of laughter and tears - just like life - just like all the wonderful gay men of past and present.

play has wit, leaves you with something to think about. Handled each aspect with laughter and thought. could use a bit more editing and expanding of ideas. would enjoy seeing it again after some add'l writing. Wish more people saw it, a great evening out.
