In honor of Pride Chicago 2009, PTC/The Legacy Project and MidTangent Productions are presenting Doric Wilson’s “A Perfect Relationship” at the Leather Archives & Museum. “It’s delightful, it’s perfect for PRIDE,” says Madrid St. Angelo, PTC/The Legacy Project artistic director, of the 1970s-set play. “The whole idea of relationships and how they work and how you find somebody. The story of sometimes everything you’re looking for is right in front of you and you just don’t see it until you go through some wild experiences.” The play has never been staged in Chicago and was chosen to reflect PTC’s goal of preserving legacies of LGBT playwrights and actors. Wilson is an award-winning playwright and pioneer of gay theater in the U.S. He will be in Chicago June 25 and 26 for talks after the performances. “He’s considered one of the founders of gay theater in America,” St. Angelo says. “Out of the group he was part of in the 1960s came some of the most highly regarded playwrights.”
