"An always daringly incendiary brand of queer cabaret." –Philly Weekly

My mother and father agree – the army has made me a man.

A dazzling celebration of love, longing, honesty, and identity in the line of duty.

Through the Army hits of World War II, Back in the Army explores the lives and longings of the manliest of men. Men who longed for that girl back home — and men who longed to be with men.

Featuring such classics as “Why Do They Call a Private a Private?”, “The Army’s Made a Man Out of Me”, and “I’ll be Seeing You”, this hour of drag, drama, and revelry will put hair on your chest and curlers in your hair.
