Synopsis:
It's 1955, the year Dale Jennings of the Mattachine Society decided to stand trial for "lewd and indecent behavior," but also the year Frank Kameny was fired from his government job. In other words, post WWII, amid McCarthyism, and years before Stonewall, it was probably one of the most dangerous and difficult times to be gay. In ON THE ROOF, five men struggle to find their place and their courage, supported by a woman brave enough to give them a refuge--a gay bar.
Notes:
This play, as it's set in a cabaret, has 2.5 songs, but is NOT a musical.
