Last week Drew Droege celebrated the official opening of his comedy Happy Birthday Doug, a follow-up to his long-running Bright Colors and Bold Patterns. The play, which opened February 13, continues its extended run at SoHo Playhouse through March 29 (originally scheduled through March 1).
Happy Birthday Doug sees Doug turning 41. His favorite, and least favorite, gay men have made the invite list for his birthday celebration including friends, nightmares, a few exes, tricks, and even a ghost. Happy Birthday Doug is a wicked and wild hour-long celebration of modern gay culture, with tons of wine.
