Drew Droege’s Happy Birthday Doug celebrates its official opening at SoHo Playhouse February 13. The solo comedy, written and performed by Droege, is a follow-up to his long-running Bright Colors and Bold Patterns.
Described as a "gay Christmas Carol/modern-day exorcism set in a wine bar in Silverlake," Happy Birthday Doug sees Doug (Droege) turning 41. He's visited by friends, nightmares, a few exes, and even a ghost.
The run, which began February 6 is scheduled through March 1, is produced by Michael Urie and Zach Laks, and directed by Tom DeTrinis.
