West’s play tells the story of a married but closeted high society man who throws a wild drag ball that proves to be a fateful event. Written under a pseudonym before she became a blockbuster Hollywood star, her play scandalized New York audiences in 1927 with its portrayal of homosexuality and drag queens. It was closed out of town by the authorities after two weeks of sold-out performances.

This Classical Theatre Lab reading will feature guest artists Kelly Mantle, Roger Q. Mason and T. A. Mozelle. A singer/songwriter/comedian as well as actor, Mantle guest starred on "RuPaul’s Drag Race" among their numerous TV credits. An accomplished writer/performer, Mason penned and starred in "Lavender Men" at Skylight Theatre in L.A. and Circle in the Square in New York. T.A. Moselle has starred in numerous TV and movies including the films, "Trade" and "Blues for Walladean".

Cast also includes: Joel Asher, Beau Berglund, Mark Crowell, Nicholas Hargous, Stuart W. Howard, Suzanne Hunt, Paris Perrault, Max Pescherine, Sara Shearer, David Shofner, Lonni Silver, and Anthony Topsfield. Direction by Alex Wells.
