Me." The show is performed and written by Peter Mac, and tells the

his love for Judy Garland got him through the rough spots.
The show was produced in the summer of 2002 and performed
at THE DUPLEX downtown New York. In the fall the show was turned
into a 6-person, 90-minute one act play and was performed at ROSE'S
TURN. The show was originally scheduled to run for four nights but
ended up running for two years to rave reviews. It earned a 2002
HX Award nomination for best gay play.
