Jeffrey Closes WWC? 2007-2008 Season

Who Wants Cake? is proud to announce their final show of the Who Wants Cake? 2007-2008 season, the gay romantic comedy classic, Jeffrey by Paul Rudnick. Opening Friday, May 16th, Jeffrey will play Friday-Mondays for a four week run at The Ringwald Theatre in Downtown Ferndale.

It’s 1993 and Jeffrey, a gay actor/waiter, has sworn off sex after too many bouts with his partners about what is 'safe' and what is not. Suddenly, just after he's reconciled himself to celibacy, Jeffrey's flamboyant friends introduce him to the man of his dreams, who happens to be HIV-positive. What follows is an audacious and moving romantic comedy with a difference—one in which the quest for love and really fabulous clothes meet, and where unflagging humor prevails even when tragedy might be just around the corner.

Paul Rudnick’s plays have been produced both on and off Broadway and around the world. They include Valhalla; The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told; Mr. Charles, The Naked Eye; I Hate Hamlet and Jeffrey for which he won an Obie, an Outer Critics Circle Award and the John Gassner Playwriting Award. His screenplays include Addams Family Values, the screen adaptation of Jeffrey and In & Out.

Jeffrey features a talented cast that includes Joe Bailey, Melissa Beckwith, Tony Gross, Richard Payton, Joe Plambeck, all of Ferndale, and Dan Morrison, Gary Lehman, and John Prakapas, all of Ann Arbor. Joe Bailey will also direct.
