'Torch Song'
When Harvey Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy" premiered on Broadway in 1982, Arnold, his drag queen character, wanted love and respect and the kind of acknowledgment that many in today's LGBTQ community take for granted today. Fierstein updated the work in 2017, simply calling it "Torch Song." Respect remains a constant longing for Arnold but the other items on his list, including a husband, are no longer unimaginable dreams. Neal Beckman plays Arnold in Craig Johnson's production for Six Points Theater. (7:30 p.m. Wed.-Thu., 8 p.m. Sat., 1 & 7 p.m. Sun. Highland Park Community Center, 1978 Ford Pkwy., St Paul. $27-$40. 651-647-4315. sixpointstheater.org)
