Sabbatical Presentation of Lily, Arthur by Steven Satta, Department of Theatre Arts, College of Fine Arts and Communication
Steven Satta, Professor in the Department of Theatre Arts, presents his sabbatical performance and talk-back on Thursday, 9 November in the Ruth Marder Studio Theatre. The title of his performance is Lily, Arthur.
It’s 1943. Young Private “Mac” McAllister lands a dream assignment as accompanist for Miss Lily Arthur, a singer who entertains the troops. Lily is the alter ego of Captain Arthur Lily of the U.S. Army. When Mac is asked to create a female persona and do a “sister act” with Lily, he finds himself at odds and in a romantic tangle with Arthur and Captain Connie Heller of the Women’s Army Corp. Lily, Arthur traces Mac’s awakening as a proud gay man on the threshold of the post-war homophile movement.
