About the Production
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Perfect Arrangement, by Topher Payne, is inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the gay rights movement, and both the “red scare” and the “lavender scare” of 1950s America.
​
Incredibly timely, Perfect Arrangement merges madcap sitcom-style laughs with provocative drama as two closeted U.S. State Department employees struggle to maintain their cover - and their sanity.
About the Characters
​CHARACTER ADVISORY: All characters will interact with themes of love and intimacy. All intimacy will be choreographed with an intimacy coordinator.
