But coming off soldout even with extra seating added performances of On Golden Pond, he felt more people are watching what The Studio Players are presenting. Major roles for gays and lesbians have generally been relegated to musicals here, and have leaned heavily into cross-dressing. But stories about Arnold Beckoff, your unassuming gay next-door neighbor, haven t come here. ....
