While the play itself is both fascinating and entertaining alone, Making the Boys, the story of just how Mart Crowley's Boys in the Band came into existence and into the permanent cultural consciousness of an entire generation (at least) is even more fascinating. Join us for this very special Documentary Centerpiece.The New York State Premiere of Making the Boys begins at 6:30 at the Cinema Theater.

I couldn't believe it was 1968. I thought it was more like 1978 when the play came out. Well, thanks for the education guys :)
Also, how sad that so many cast members had since died of AIDS.

Loved both the movie and this doc. One criticism -- not one lesbian interviewed. Impact of play and movie extended beyond the gay male culture.
