FALSETTOLAND: The original "Modern Family"


Following "In Trousers" and "March of the Falsettos", this is the third in a trio of one-act musicals centering on Marvin, his wife Trina, his psychiatrist Dr. Mendel, his son Jason, and his  lover Whizzer. In this chapter of Marvin's life, Jason is preparing for his bar mitzvah and Whizzer is suffering from a mysterious, life-threatening, as yet undefined illness, which the audience recognizes is AIDS.
