In 1993, playwright Paul Rudnick’s Off-Broadway hit, Jeffrey, took a decidedly different approach towards depicting gay men and AIDS; it was written as a comedy.

Keeping this a period piece, Out Front on Main proposes to show how little has changed in so much time-the only difference is that it is now spoken in whispers, if at all.

While this might sound tasteless, Jeffrey was a much-needed antidote at the time to the climate of death that had permeated gay culture for most of the previous decade. The play resonated with audiences.

Jeffrey is the hilarious story of a 30-something actor/waiter who has become so disenchanted with safe sex and the terror of AIDS that he has decided to give up all forms of carnal knowledge forever.

Celibacy becomes Jeffrey’s new mantra and he heads to the gym to find a new outlet for his energies and immediately meets Steve (Ryan Vogel). Steve is everything that Jeffrey has always wanted in a man but, because he has vowed to give up sex, he panics and makes a quick exit stage left.

Steve is persistent and eventually wins Jeffrey over - until he discloses something that sends Jeffrey into his cocoon again.

This amazing cast also features Richard Browder, Andy Woloszyn, Anderson Dodd, Jessica Theiss, Seth Limbaugh and Zach Parker. A portion of every ticket sold goes to benefit Nashville Cares.
