Perfect Arrangement is set in 1950 in Georgetown, where the so-called Lavender Scare is raising its ugly head, and gays and lesbians are being sought and removed from federal employment. State Department employee Bob Martindale (Brad Satterwhite) has been after Communists, and he is asked to expand his investigative scope to include so-called degenerates, including homosexuals. He and his secretary Norma (Leslie Wagonner) both have a secret though - they are in same-sex relationships themselves. Bob is involved with teacher Jimmy (Alex Rodriguez), while Norma is with Millie (Amanda Farbstein). Yet they have found a way to pass - Bob and Millie are a married couple, as are Jimmy and Norma, and they all share a D.C. duplex. When night falls and the curtains are drawn in the living room of the Martindales characters pass through a closet - literally - to get to their desired living quarters and companions. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two "All-American" couples are forced to stare down the closet door.
$32 - $60.
Presented by Hillbarn Theatre & Conservatory.
