A Letter From The Bishop: Father Tony Adams' Play Gets First NYC Reading

Father Tony Adams' timely new play, A Letter From The Bishop, had its first public reading in Fort Lauderdale earlier this year, which some of you watched here via a live video hookup. If you're in NYC next month, please consider attending the play's first Gotham reading at Times Square's St. Clement's Theater. Free admission, but reservations are recommended!

Tony Adams: A Letter From The Bishop

Tonight: A special JMG event as Father Tony Adams presents the first public reading of his new play, A Letter From The Bishop.

In November of 2011, Father Tony wrote "A Letter From The Bishop", a play about three gay priests and their Catholic bishop who is against marriage equality. It is also about promises, obedience and conscience. Most of you are familiar with the energetic homophobia of the Roman Catholic bishops of America, but obscure is the soul of the gay priest who must follow that agenda. Or not. Although the characters are entirely fictional, the business of the play is being repeated in cities across the country. The four readers are Ken Averett, Philip Brisbois, Tim Rogers and Chad Thilborger. (That cast includes an Episcopalian priest, an ex-Jesuit and two professional actors. You'll be hard pressed to assign the labels correctly!) The reading is hosted by Stonewall National Museum and Archives in Fort Lauderdale.

The reading begins at 7pm Eastern time. You may see a short commercial before the feed goes live. If you'd like to chat with others watching the feed, hit the large mid-screen play button to open a new window. Click the lower play button to stay on JMG.

UPDATE: The performance is completed. Thanks everybody!

Loaded

Yesterday I joined the Farmboyz, Little David, Eric Leven, Wayne Hoffman and his partner for a matinee of Loaded, a new play by Elliot Ramón Potts that ran for five shows at the NYC LGBT Center back in January and opened this weekend Off Broadway at the Lion Theater. I went in knowing nothing more than the show's title, certainly not expecting a verbose 90 minute exploration of misogyny, HIV, barebacking, and gay activism - all intertwined with the complexities and expectations of the two very attractive cast members' daddy/boy fuck buddy relationship.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I strongly identified with the older man's philosophies and I could almost hear Father Tony's eyes rolling whenever the character said something I've said to Tony many times. More than the above cited subject matters, the play is a sharp examination of the gulf between gay men of the plague years and the priorities of today's young gay men. The acting is terrific. Highly recommended. Loaded runs six shows a week at the Lion Theater at Theater Row on W.42nd. Get tickets here. Facebook page here.
