It's not easy growing up gay in the Iron City under an iron fist. A young man's revenge fantasy becomes a very different reality in this 30-year search to understand a father's rejection.
The CENTER has been offering opportunities for the Hudson Valley community to create since 1994. We hope you will join us as a participant, a student, or an audience member!
