Dezart Performs

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.

Dezart hit it out of the ballpark with this play! I was engaged and captivated every moment that there was movement on the stage!
