Lily, Arthur
June 25 @ 7:00 pm - June 26 @ 7:00 pm
$15 – $25
By Sache J. Satta
Towson University’s month-long Summer at The Center Festival is proud to host Sache J. Satta’s ‘Lily, Arthur’.
Set in 1943, ‘Lily, Arthur’ follows Private “Mac” McAllister, a young accompanist assigned to perform with Miss Lily Arthur, a singer entertaining the troops. Lily is, in fact, the alter ego of Captain Arthur Lily of the U.S. Army. When Mac is asked to create a female persona and perform a “sister act,” he becomes entangled in a complex romantic triangle involving Arthur and Captain Connie Heller of the Women’s Army Corps.
The play traces Mac’s awakening as a proud gay man on the threshold of the postwar homophile movement.
