Written and performed by Rimalower and directed by Aaron Mark, Patti Issues received a special Bistro Award for solo play in March and won the MAC Award for Male Debut.
"When Ben Rimalower was eight years old, his father came out of the closet and embarked on a drug-fueled tear that left his family in tatters," according to press notes. "Amid the chaos of his young life, Ben found comfort—like so many gay boys before him and after—in musical theater, and specifically in the transportive voice of Broadway star Patti LuPone."
