You’re invited to attend a sneak peek of THE GORGEOUS NOTHINGS — a new musical that tells the forgotten story of “The Fag Ward” — an isolated wing at NYC’s Penitentiary on Welfare Island for inmates convicted of homosexuality during the 1930s. This musical weaves 6 inmates’ stories into high-camp numbers from “The Fag Follies” — the prison’s annual Christmas pageant — to expose a secret, fabulous world that was never supposed to have existed.
HOST COMMITTEE: Kevin Jennings, Eric Marcus, Barney Karpfinger
