2. Bright Colors and Bold Patterns

Josh and Brennan are about to get married in Palm Springs on a lovely Saturday afternoon. However, the night before becomes a drunken, drug-fueled riot, because their friend Gerry has arrived, furious that their invitation says "Please refrain from wearing bright colors or bold patterns." In the struggle for equality, what do we really want? What do we lose? And is there any cocaine left? This unabashedly queer play stars Drew Droege and is directed by Michael Urie.

4. Indecent

Indecent is a play by Paula Vogel inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance—a piece seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. Indecent charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it. The play’s themes include anti-Semitism, homophobia, and the importance of community. This transcendent capture of the acclaimed Broadway production stars Tony Award-winner Katrina Lenk.

This mesmerizing production was staged at the San Francisco Opera.
