The International Stud is the first act, deriving its name from a gay bar of the same name at 117 Perry Street in Greenwich Village in the 1960s and 1970s. The story centers on Arnold, a torch song-singing drag queen living in New York City. The play opens with a soliloquy in which Arnold explains his proposed “disillusionment” with love. He then meets Ed, a boyishly charming man. But can the reality live up to the fantasy?
