Famed play explores faith, sexuality through young man’s equine attraction
After a long history with Actor’s Express, it’s only fitting that openly gay David Crowe is back with the company, this time directing the classic “Equus.” Opening March 21, “Equus” – written in 1973 by Peter Shaffer — is the dark tale of Alan Strang (Kyle Brumley), a young man who has blinded a half dozen horses. Psychiatrist Richard Dysart (Chris Kayser) is left to figure out why and treat Strang. Considered a masterpiece, “Equus” is still staged regularly around the world but got a big modern-day boost when Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, performed the lead role of… >>

![09c1goss body 3 1 13 [Interview] Tom Goss is ‘awesomesauce’](http://atlantaboy.com/wp-content/uploads/09c1goss-body-3-1-13.jpg)
Years ago, Tom Goss planned to be a Catholic seminarian. Now he’s headed to Atlanta to help raise funds for a bunch of fake nuns. An acoustic singer-songwriter known for both his music and his messages, Goss performs at Atlanta’s First Existentialist Congregation on Saturday, March 9, to benefit the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the group of drag nuns dedicated to community service for LGBT people and beyond. “I’ve met Sisters all over the country; I love their energy and their works,” Goss tells GA Voice. And while Goss will join the Atlanta Sisters as performer rather than priest… >>

World premiere ‘Angry Fags’ asks: Is anyone really afraid of gay guys?
Topher Payne doesn’t seem like an angry fag. But then, at first glance, neither do Bennett Riggs and Cooper Harlow, the main characters of Payne’s new play, “Angry Fags,” opening Feb. 21 at 7 Stages Theatre. They picnic in the park. They banter about cheese and wine. They tease each other about everything from letter writing to dating with the loving sarcasm gay men seem to have perfected. Then they set off a bomb. >>

‘Re-Imagine the Dream’ over MLK Weekend
Over the past decade, the Bayard Rustin/Audre Lorde Breakfast has become the hallmark event of MLK Weekend in Atlanta as LGBT activists gather together for food and conversation. Craig Washington and Darlene Hudson, organizers of the annual breakfast, agree the event is known for bringing together a diverse crowd of people to discuss social justice while eating a free breakfast of eggs, bacon and biscuits. This year there will not be a formal panel, Washington said. Instead, key leaders in the city’s LGBT community will present the theme and “deliver the charge” to attendees, he said. This year’s theme… >>

Food Porn #14: Memories and the secret to eternal youth
Robert got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. About a year ago, when he turned 49, he started doing his usual morning grooming virtually without looking in the mirror. It made shaving difficult at first and he considered growing a beard. But it became easy –a unique skill worthy of performance in a geriatric gay freak show, as he told friends. But Robert knew that the evidence of aging was not just his own mirror reflection. It was also reflected in the faces of others. A few days after Thanksgiving, he went to the Backstreet reunion party at Jungle… >>
