Torch Song
Written by Harvey Fierstein
Directed by Bill Fennelly

This is the Philadelphia Premiere of Harvey Fierstein’s 2018 adaptation of his iconic Torch Song Trilogy!

Hilarious and heart-wrenching, Torch Song follows Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing, Jewish drag queen in New York in the late 70s, early 80s. As he searches for love, happiness and a pair of bunny slippers that fit, a visit from his overbearing mother reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect. Join Arnold in this dramatic comedy about the families we’re born into, the families we choose, and the battles to bring them all home.
