Tony Award-winning Falsettos is a tribute to family and its many forms; a playful interrogation of faith and identity; and a celebration of the beauty, complexity, and necessity of love.
Marvin has left his wife, Trina, for his male lover; Trina has married Marvin鈥檚 therapist; and their son, Jason, is grappling with his parents鈥� divorce and his looming Bar Mitzvah. Everyone鈥檚 world has been upended and now they must explore what their new lives may hold. Featuring a sung-through score and set against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic, Falsettos is a humorous and heartbreaking web of ex-spouses, co-parents, new lovers, and the lesbians next door.
TimeLine Theatre Associate Artistic Director Nick Bowling (The Lehman Trilogy) returns to Court Theatre 鈥� where he began his career almost thirty years ago alongside Charles Newell 鈥� to make his Court directorial debut with this celebratory co-production with TimeLine Theatre Company. Groundbreaking in its depiction of queerness, Falsettos shines with ingenuity and contemporary relevance.
