15th Anniversary Reading Boys Don’t Wear Lipstick Brian Belovitch
About This Show
Boys Don’t Wear Lipstick.– originally presented in 2000 and was a 2000 GLAAD Media Awards nominee for Outstanding Broadway/Off- Broadway Production – is a journey from boyhood to manhood – by way of a 15-year detour through womanhood. At the age of 15, Brian Belovitch concluded that he was meant to be a she. With a little help, Brian became Tish. Tish passed happy years as an army bride, enjoying the role of dutiful wife. When her storybook marriage crumbled, the resourceful Tish found success as a working model and cabaret singer in New York City, before hard times hit and she ultimately found herself walking 42nd street. Tish was forced to search her soul and came to the conclusion that something was missing: the man she never gave herself the chance to be.
