THIS WEEKEND
 | âPerfect Arrangementâ General Admission Tickets: $20 For tickets and more information, call or visit the Clemens Center Box Office at 607-734-8191 or 800-724-0159 or visit ClemensCenter.org. ââââââ In celebration of Pride Month, Centre Stage Community Theatre presents Perfect Arrangement by Topher Payne, a play in two acts. Itâs 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 so-called âsexual deviantsâ within their ranks. Thereâs just one problem: both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each otherâs partners as part of a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, Perfect Arrangement blends sharp, classic sitcom-style humor with powerful, thought-provoking drama. As the stakes rise, two âAll-Americanâ couples are forced to confront the truth behind their carefully curated livesâand ultimately, to stare down the closet door. |
