"Nothing But Trash entertains most because it does bad so good."

 

- Pete Hempstead, TheaterMania

What happens when two beautiful teenage boys meet under the hot summer sun?  Nothing good.

 

It’s 1958.  Tab and Troy are on the fast track to madness when their innocent love is destroyed by lies. 

 

Wrongly accused of a heinous crime, the boys must escape the horrors of juvenile hall, or risk losing their sanity.  And their lives!

A note from the playwright . . .

 

I wanted tell a story about repressed love.  I was inspired by the lurid teenage romance movies of the 1950s. 

 

The first act satirizes films like “Peyton Place.”  I love Lana Turner’s character - a frustrated widow, hungry for love, but fearful of sex. 

 

The second act delves into teenage rebel movies like “Reform School Girl,” where only the tough girls survive.  But ultimately, this story is about two innocent teenage boys who must hide their love. 

- Andy Halliday
