David Drake's hit Off-Broadway solo show, a semi-autobiographical performance piece with several poignant stories about growing up gay in the '90s, will be performed online by Drake and an ensemble of gay actors for a Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS benefit.

From his brilliant opening monologue describing the impact playwright Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart had on him, to his amusing riff on "Why I Go to the Gym," the gay tales recall a tumultuous time for gay men in New York City.

Directed by Robert La Fosse, the all-star cast from the 20th anniversary production includes Brandon Cordeiro, Robin De Jes�s, Andr� De Shields, David Drake, Claybourne Elder, Rory O'Malley, Anthony Rapp, Wesley Taylor, Chad Ryan, Donald C. Shorter, Jr., Aaron Tone, and BD Wong.
