From Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel, "Indecent" follows the incredible true journey of a groundbreaking piece of theatre and the passionate artists who risked their lives to perform it.
From the show:
In February 1923, audiences witnessed Broadway's first lesbian kiss at the English-language premiere of "God of Vengeance", a play by Yiddish writer Sholem Asch. Days later, the NYPD Vice Squad arrested and prosecuted the entire cast on obscenity charges. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel ("How I Learned to Drive") turned this true story into the acclaimed Broadway production "Indecent", which won Tony awards for lighting design and for direction by Rebecca Taichman. This critically adored play at L.A.'s Ahmanson Theatre confronts the challenges faced by new American immigrants as cultures clash and stoke the fires of prejudice. Don't miss this chance to experience "Indecent"'s klezmer-inspired original score and find out why "The New York Times" called it "a superbly realized, remarkably powerful new play."
