    Description

    This is a rare May 1969 playbill from the National Tour engagement of the landmark MART CROWLEY play "THE BOYS IN THE BAND" at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. (The production opened April 14th, 1968 at the Off-Broadway Theatre Four in New York City and ran for 1001 performances while simultaneously playing on the road.) ..... The controversial play was among the first to revolve around gay characters and the motion picture released two years later (with the play's original cast) is often cited as a milestone in the history of "
    queer cinema
    ".
    The
    ensemble cast
    included GEORGE PENTECOST as Michael, NICHOLAS PRYOR as Alan, BILL MOOR as Harold, JERE ADMIRE as Emory, CHRISTOPHER CARROLL as Donald, REX ROBBINS as Hank, ALAN CASTNER as Larry, PAUL RUDD as Cowboy, and ROBERT CHRISTIAN as Bernard ..... CREDITS: Book by MART CROWLEY; Sets designed by PETER HARVEY; Directed by ROBERT MOORE; Produced by RICHARD BARR and CHARLES WOODWARD ..... DETAILS: The 50 page playbill measures 6" X 9" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, synopsis of scenes and bios of each of the actors and members of the creative team, but no cast photos ..... CONDITION: With the exception of light edge wear, this rare playbill is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
