Floating World Pictures' new documentary TERRENCE MCNALLY: EVERY ACT OF LIFE follows one of the world's most honored and risk-taking playwrights in an immersive exploration of how to "make the third act of life as interesting as the first two." Through his personal journey, the film is a portrait of the evolution of the American theatre; the struggle for LGBTQ rights; battles with alcohol and cancer; the cycle of passion, loss, and love; and the RELENTLESS PURSUIT of creative inspiration.

The documentary features Chita Rivera, Nathan Lane, Audra McDonald, Patrick Wilson, Tyne Daly, F. Murray Abraham, Angela Lansbury, Edie Falco, John Kander, Christine Baranski, Marin Mazzie, Joe Mantello, Larry Kramer, Doris Roberts, John Benjamin Hickey, Billy Porter, Micah Stock, Richard Thomas, Roberta Kaplan, Jack O'Brien, Paul Libin, Lynne Meadow, John Tillinger, Don Roos, John Glover, Anthony Heald, Jon Robin Baitz, Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, and more. The film also features the voices of Bryan Cranston (as John Steinbeck) and Meryl Streep (as Terrence's high school English teacher), and Dan Bucantisky reading from the play "Bad Habits."

A new Kickstarter campaign has been launched featuring terrific Terrence and theatre-related Kickstarter "thank you" rewards. Find out more details at http://kck.st/2y1sLGi
