Inspired by true events, THE GORGEOUS NOTHINGS uncovers the long-buried story of the “Fag Ward” — a hidden wing of the Men’s Penitentiary on Welfare Island, NYC, where inmates were imprisoned in the 1930s for homosexuality. With a score inspired by the Great American Songbook, this nontraditional musical creatively weaves 6 inmates’ stories into high-camp numbers from The Fag Follies — the prison’s annual Christmas pageant — to expose a secret, fabulous, underground world that was never supposed to have existed. An off-broadway run is coming in 2027.

Jerome, a ghost town in the secluded Arizona backcountry, is home to Con and Doane, an aging gay couple who’ve built a quiet life far from the chaos of cities and other people—until a stranger arrives, fleeing his damaged past, and falls into their arms. Set at the height of the AIDS epidemic, John J. Caswell, Jr.’s new play is an unexpectedly funny, delicately wrought story of survival, even in the harshest of deserts.
