"Sexy… sultry…repressive – Hollywood 1953, an underground nightclub where everyone’s got a secret," press notes state. "At Mary’s Hideaway, it was a place for sizzling jazz and for the ambitious people who are finding the courage to be who they are. It is the noir time of the ‘50’s, and the laws governing gay and lesbian clubs, produced every glance that had a double meaning and the words that were innuendo. Here everything had to be done to the strict code. These are some of the people who had the guts to break the rules."
Show times will be Tuesday at 7 PM, Wednesday at 2 PM and 8 PM, Thursday and Friday at 8 PM, Saturday at 2 PM and 8 PM and Sunday at 3 PM and 7 PM.
Theatre Row's Acorn Theatre is located at 410 West 42nd Street. Tickets are $65 and can be purchased at the Theatre Row Box Office or through TeleCharge by calling (212) 239-6200 or online at TeleCharge.com.
