IF “GAY THEATER” is fed as beg by, for, and about uncloseted gay people, then 2014 arguably marks the 50th anniversary of the genre’s existence. In 1964, spe a social climate of homophobia that pervad Amerin life for the send third of the 20th century, two one-act plays prented Off-Off-Broadway at the Caffe Co revolutnized how gay characters uld be reprented theatrilly. Produced a readg of “Hnted Host” 2008 an eveng honorg Robert Patrick for his ntributn to gay theater over the past five s.
The plays marked a major cultural turng pot, nsirg the outright censorship that gay playwrights faced the precedg s. At the height of the Pansy Craze the late 1920s, Mae Wt penned The Drag, a “social problem” play that argued for sympathetic treatment of homosexuals.
