Event

The Temperamentals
Arouet and Alfed Zem Hill present
the Northwest premiere of
THE TEMPERAMENTALS
by Jon Marans
Directed by Roy Arauz

"The Temperamentals" chronicles the founding of the Mattachine Society, the first sustained gay rights organization in the United States in the pre-Stonewall, McCarthy era. It is also the love story of two of its founding members, communist Harry Hay and Viennese fashion designer Rudi Gernreich. "Temperamental" comes from early 20th century as a slang for homosexual, and was used as a necessary code in the early 1950s as homosexuality was thoroughly prosecuted. The New York Times called "The Temperamentals" an eminently likable docudrama about gay identity in the age of Eisenhower." Backstage said "The Temperamentals is an exceedingly fine play  smart, passionate, focused, and satisfying."
