Monday I spent the afternoon interviewing Mart Crowley, the author of 'The Boys In The Band.'
It was one of the most remarkable afternoons of my life. Meeting the man behind the work only made my mission for MARK the magazine more focused. Life and the pursuit of living it better, and more fully.
Meeting Mart Crowley, and spending time with him was a great honor. The man who wrote the play which gave birth to the modern gay man - is like you and me. Curious, and still looking for the answers to life's questions about - love, friendship, family, and purpose.
Look for the interview in the future when MARK the magazine is launched. Until then, give the film another viewing, or pick up a copy of 'The Collected Plays of Mart Crowley' and read his sequel to 'Boys' called 'The Men from the Boys.' Mart also wrote a play in 1993 called 'For Reasons That Remain Unclear' that seems very timely now, between a man in his 30's confronting a priest from his childhood.
