Perfect Arrangement
A comic tale of closeted lives by TOPHER PAYNE
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.

'Perfect Arrangement' is a must-see Dezart Performs show with a LGBTQ history lesson!
Dezart hit it out of the ballpark with this play! I was engaged and captivated every moment that there was movement on the stage!
As always, director Michael Shaw knows how to use a stage, get the best out of his actors, and how to keep a comedy firing on all cylinders!
