Pride Plays: A Theatrical Rainbow
Last June, for the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall in New York, three friends — actors Michael Urie and Nick Mayo, and producer Doug Nevin — presented a month-long celebration of LGBTQ theater in New York. Dubbed “Pride Plays,” the festival, held at the Village’s Rattlestick Theatre, spanned five days and featured 19 staged play readings, involving over 250 artists from the theater community.“When it was all said and done, I understood Pride in a more visceral cellular way,” says Mayo.
