Life Jacket invites you to an all-star benefit reading of THE GORGEOUS NOTHINGS, a new musical dramatizing the true-life stories of 6 inmates in the “Fag Ward” at NYC’s Penitentiary during the 1930s. Blending re-discovered songs from the Great American Songbook and in-depth archival research, this show excavates, interrogates, and theatricalizes a forgotten chapter of America’s Queer History.
