Tom, left alone, loses his pants and waits for his lover upstairs to come home.

My favorite moment, kissing Dale goodbye and flying away.
-
-
As a game, Marvin makes Kink and Tom strip so they can see themselves reflected in the TV screen. Tom gets ideas for a threesome, and Marvin and Kink quickly dress and leave.
-
-
Marvin and Kink put on a show to dispel the sexual tension.
-
-
Kink returns, and Tom makes a play for him.

—just entertaining Tom till Kink gets back.

Kink leaves to give Marvin a chance with the horny boy. Marvin is so nervous that he winds up…
-
-
Tom, 20 (Dale Merchant), the boy-toy of their upstairs neighbor, arrives wet from the rain and asks if he can hang out. In truth (as the roommates know), he’s been wanting to meet the famous Marvin and handsome Kink.
-
-
They’ve been caught in the rain and have time to kill before Marvin must catch a plane and Kink hit the bars.
-
-
Marvin, a famous playwright of 40 (me) and Kink, a recovering alcoholic getting a career in carpentry together (Jack Wrangler), are roommates, old friends, and never lovers. See Jack’s interview during rehearsals.

This was the first gay play I ever saw (Portland, 1980?) Later, I read Kennedy’s Children (You were already my hero). Then I moved to LA and I got to meet you. Thank you for casting me and directing me in Beaux Arts Ball. (I was Madame Seurat – Dana Winkelman). I’m sorry I did not have the artistic nor emotional maturity at that time. It was a joy to work with you.

A production of T-Shirts was presented in Dallas, Texas, in the early 1980s, with John Sheridan as Kink, Buck Massey as Marvin and Troy Rash as Tom. It was directed by David Clayton.

Have you photos?

Dear Mr. Patrick, unfortunately no photos exist of the Dallas production of T-Shirts in 1982. However, there is a poster from the production which can be seen here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NY4RD3iPZkgo8fbWy_scEvPPGGSxrIWP/view?usp=sharing
All of the participants in the production were graduates of the Experience Weekend workshop founded by Dr. Rob Eichberg (co-founder of National Coming Out Day) and David Goodstein, publisher of the Advocate (newspaper at that time). John Sheridan passed away in the mid-80s; Buck Massey died in the mid-90s, but not before raising a lot of hell as a Democratic activist in ruby-red Republican Texas. Troy Rash is still living in Texas and selling antiques. David Clayton retired to Madrid, Spain, where he observes the collapse of the American empire with Sparger-like detachment. Thank you for a lifetime of art and vision.

OOOO, thank you! What a great poster! If I can figure out how to, I’ll certainly add it to this page!

There’s certainly a lot to learn about this subject. I love all the points you made.
