Summer camp season is underway in Midtown Manhattan-and its perfectly timed for pride month! Fans of old movies starring Barbra Stanwyck, Bette Davis, Lana Turner and other classic screen dames will appreciate Tomorrow We Love, an over the the top homage to this genre.
A recent press release describes the scenario:
It’s 1960 in the wealthy enclave of Noble Bay, California, where Elaine ‘Lainie’ Fairbanks is the toast of the town. She has it all – money, status and an intimate relationship with the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly Lainie must contend with her husband’s betrayal, her daughter’s rebellion, her best friend’s treachery and the wrath of a small town engulfed in scandal. Can she turn tragedy into triumph? Will she crumble or will she soar? Tomorrow We Love is her story – and ours!

“Jeffrey and I are gay men who both had very special relationships with our mothers,” said co-playwright and director Steve Hauck, about his co-writer and star Jeffrey Vause. “With Tomorrow We Love we aim for intriguing currents of feminism underneath a frothy spoof of those period film melodramas. Unwed mothers!, Unfaithful husbands!, Betrayal!, Seduction!, all played for laughs, but also for real–with cross-gender casting in both directions. We celebrate the pre-Women’s Lib housewives of the 1950’s, using the ‘drag’ genre made famous by Charles Busch, in a unique, smart and loving way.”
Tomorrow We Love runs through June 23rd at the Factory Series at The Chain Theatre 312 West 36th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY. For tickets and information, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tomorrow-we-love-a-new-comedy-by-jeffrey-vause-and-steve-hauck-tickets-814457182357
