The play focuses on Anthony,
a 16 year-old boy trapped in a narrow minded Long Islandsuburb. An
outcast at school, he is the daily target of verbal and physical abuse
from his classmates. Things aren't any better at home. His father
Sal is a walking time bomb and a constant source of pain to Anthony
and his mother.
His escape? The legendary
entertainer Judy Garland. She comes to life before his eyes, helping
him through the rough spots with encouragement and funny stories.
Through this encounter Anthony learns to deal with his dysfunctional
family, rotten school life and his sexual preference. The play tackles
both the issues of homophobia and domestic abuse. It also delves into
Garland's everlasting appeal to the gay community.
