From your experiences in 2006, how did this play affect people?

Well, I will say that at that time, what we considered diversity in our audience was faithful LDS folks buying tickets to performances on Sunday because that's when they were available.

We did witness something pretty spectacular.

It was a very specific, special moment in time where we saw a lot of young gay men, particularly not only gay men, but a lot of gay men, young gay men coming with their families to see the play.

And it was not, like Jay mentioned, it wasn't just a play for them.

It became a process of healing.

And we witnessed that quite frequently in real time.

And I'm curious, what was it that made this play so important at that time? Like, what were you worried about politically, socially, that this play addressed?
