I live in the Hampton Roads area of SE VA. We had a similar thing happen to a local high school. They wrote and developed a play around the hit songs of Petula Clark called “Pet Sounds”–and in it the lead male was just coming to terms with “coming out”–they ended up playing at a local stage theater that stood up and said they could put it on there–it ended up selling out and coming back to that same theater 6 months later only to sell out again. Have those kids hit up the local stage theater–I’ll bet they get picked up. Publicity is a marvelous thing.

A play about five people. Four of witch have AIDS and two are gay.
Two are IV drug users and one a sometimes working documentary maker.
All of witch are communist idealists that are refusing to pay their rent.
I must be really dumb because I missed how this play promotes tolerance.

I agree with Bud. I grew up behind the Orange Curtain. I escaped at age 24 all the way to Long Beach. But Long Beach was and is a different world.
I grew up in the City of Orange which is a little more down to Earth than Newport. But While I was able to find gay friends and be out to some people, Moving away was really good for my mental well being. Also while this may sound trivial to this day many people in the O.C. are very much about what they drive and are also really rude drivers that will not let you into traffic.
L.A. Drivers seem to be more friendly and will let you in.
Newport Beach is so issolated from reality…Huge houses, expensive cars, fake boobs etc. Parts of L.A. are very fancy too but I think they are sobered by being nearer to working class and poor neighborhoods.

Newport Beach, CA is Gestapo headquarters of fascist Orange County. I worked there for six years; I have NEVER met such ARROGANT, CONCEITED, HATEFUL, BIGOTED people in my LIFE. Apparently they think their money gives them the permission.

If The Big One DOES come, I hope Newport Beach ends up at the bottom of the Pacific!
