This is The Jeffrey Solomon/Marjorie Conn Issue. They were two of the many stars that performed at The Columbus National Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival that I was able to attend part of in September. The entire Festival was ran with a great degree of organization, professionalism, and community support. Kudos to Frank Barnhart and Act Out Productions, publicist Dale Gregory, and their entire staff! Truly this can be a model of how to run a festival successfully. Audiences numbered more than 4,000 during the ten-day festival with 24 productions to see. It was a feast of talent for the theatre patron!
