I am delighted in Pride month for this to be The Doric Wilson Issue for many reasons. Doric is one of the pioneers of the Gay Theatre Movement and founded The Other Side Of Silence (TOSOS), the first professional theatre group in 1974 in New York. TOSOS presented his plays and others in bars and other locales in the city. Now TOSOS II has been resurrected by Doric, and directors Mark Finley and Barry Childs. They are dedicated to an honest and open exploration of the life experience and sensibility of our community. From the buzz and excitement I have heard, there is much interest over their just concluded “Look Again” reading series and the revival of Doric’s classic play, “STREET THEATER” at the Eagle Bar.
