S&S Productions & Empire Stage Present
THE TEMPERAMENTALS
by Jon Marans · Directed by David Simson
August 9 – August 25
Tickets $35 ($25 for Aug 9 preview)
“Temperamental” was code for “homosexual” in the early 1950s, part of a created language of secret words that gay men used to communicate. THE TEMPERAMENTALS tells the story of two men—the communist Harry Hay and the Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich—as they fall in love while building the first gay rights organization in the pre-Stonewall United States.

What Our Audience Has To Say About Us!
This place was FABULOUS! We saw “The Golden Girls, thank u for being a friend” best and funniest show we ever saw. Owner could not have been nicer. We will definitely be back! Also location is terrific, so close to great restaurants, etc
Went to see THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND with my husband and two friends and we all had a great time! Show was smart, funny, and very entertaining! A big THANK YOU to David at Empire Stage for being so accommodating with our last-minute tickets and for putting together shows we all want to see. Can’t wait for the next one!
Great time at the naked comedy show! Handsome, funny and talented young men!! Not bad on the eyes!! Too bbad my 83 year old Mother was laid up in the hospital! It was her idea to see the show!!!! Greeted warmly by the host with free wine and many laughs as he warmed up the audience dressed in drag and full of wise cracks! Check it out if you get the chance!!!
Absolutely delightful and intimate Blackbox theatre where you see and hear everything. Plenty of parking everywhere. The lobby boasts couches to sit on and wait, snacks to buy, and a certain feeling of being in a real hip theater.
Satisfied every time!! Always enjoy the intimate space & relaxed atmosphere. Employs & hosts always friendly.
This hidden gem is just the cutest little theater with some really great acting and fabulous performances.
Intimate space. Great sound…Staff pleasent. Great venue.
Cool place. I saw the absolutely hilarious “Thank You For Being a Friend”, the Golden Girls parody. Enjoyed every moment of it, and I’m so glad I made it a part of my vacation.
