Diversionary Theatre’s new production will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this milestone event. Tim Irving will direct, and Matthew Weeden will play Arnold Beckoff, the role Harvey Fierstein wrote for himself. Torch Song Trilogy premiered on Broadway in June 1982, and went on to win the Tony Award for Best Play for that season, and a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for Mr. Fierstein. As much a reflection of the importance of family and love, Torch Song Trilogy is hailed as a classic comedy in Gay Theater. Don’t miss it.
