Terrence McNally weds in DC

Things I haven't mentioned on the porncast: Fang and I have been attending Terrence McNally's "Nights at the Opera" at the Kennedy Center. It's a series of three plays by the noted playwright, the first being "Golden Age" second "The Lisbon Traviata," and the last "Master Class." Fang's first response was that he didn't think we had signed up for any operas. Since they are all plays, it took a little explaining.

This is all an intro to the news that Terrence McNally married his partner Tom Kirdahy, a Broadway producer and lawyer, on the banks of the Potomac River in D.C. During the small ceremony, Kirdahy read from McNally's play "Corpus Christi," in which a gay Jesus figure marries two apostles: "It is good when two men love as James and Bartholomew do and we recognize their union . . . Love each other in sickness and in health." Actors Tyne Daly, who's starring in "Master Class" and John Glover and Malcolm Gets, who are starring in "The Lisbon Traviata," served as witnesses.

Did you see all of the plays? You are so lucky. I'd kill for a bootleg of the Lisbon. I'd be there myself if I weren't stuck here in St Pete.
