The Palm Honors THE TEMPERAMENTALS Cast with Wall Drawing, 4/8
On Thursday, April 8, the cast of the new Off-Broadway play, THE TEMPERAMENTALS, will present their drawing on the wall at The Palm. In celebration of two Lortel Award Nominations, including Outstanding Play and Outstanding Lead Actor for Michael Urie, cast members Michael Urie from TV's "Ugly Betty", Thomas Jay Ryan from Broadway's IN THE NEXT ROOM, Arnie Burton from the original Broadway cast of 39 STEPS, Matthew Schneck and Sam Breslin Wright will all be present. Additionally, the cast will be celebrating what would have been Harry Hay's belated 98th birthday (Wednesday, April 7).
Currently playing at New World Stages, THE TEMPERAMENTALS tells the story of two men - the communist Harry Hay and the Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich - as they fall in love while building the first gay rights organization in the United States pre Stonewall. The play weaves together the personal and political to tell a relatively unknown chapter in gay history. It explores the love between two complex men, as their impossible dream of forming such an unheard of organization becomes a reality in this perilous, unpredictable world. It is a portrayal of the men who created history and the epic struggles they overcame. The characters consist of the actual men who founded the Mattachine Society (Harry Hay, Rudi Gernreich, Chuck Rowland, Bob Hull, and Dale Jennings), as well as other prominent figures of the time in Hollywood?and the film industry as well as the world of fashion.
Daryl Roth, Stacy Shane and Martian Entertainment are presenting the new American play. The play by Jon Marans is directed by Jonathan?Silverstein; with Set & Costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting by?Josh Bradford and Daniel Kluger is the sound designer. It was recently nominated for a GLAAD Award for Outstanding New York Theater: Broadway & Off-Broadway. New World Stages is located at 340 W 50th Street.
