THE DOMA DIARIES
Sunday, March 23, 2:00 PM, PBK Hall Studio Theatre, Free
Part of Ampersand Festival
The DOMA Diaries is about the history of the (so-called) “Defense of Marriage Act” and its (negative) impact on the gay community. Spanning ten years and over thirty characters, The DOMA Diaries tells the story of three different LGBT couples and how they struggled and ultimately triumphed over DOMA. The DOMA Diaries captures the grand sweep of American history by depicting the lives of ordinary gay Americans.This performance will be a script-read of the play performed by WM student actors, followed by a discussion with the actors and playwright.
