Chicken Delight

"Chicken Delight is a cute, fizzy, little gay sex farce. It is naughty, occasionally even dirty, but never vulgar."

Martin Denton , NYTheatre.com, 6-2005

"A fun, gay romp. The play is a revival of pioneer gay playwright and producer John Glines’ 1991 work. This production, directed by Dave McCracken, is suitably assured and fast paced."

G. Robinson, New York Blade, 12-2004

"The show features a studly cast. We whole-heartedly recommend this show for your viewing pleasure."

HX Magazine, 12/24/04

"Great fun! Clever and ingenious. Lovers of comedy will miss it at their own risk."

Playwright JOHN GLINES won the Tony and Drama Desk Awards in 1983 as producer of Torch Song Trilogy, won the Drama Desk Award and a Tony nomination in 1985 as producer of As Is, and won the Drama Desk Award in 1994 for Whoop-Dee-Doo! When accepting his Tony for Torch Song, he was the first person ever to acknowledge his same-sex lover on a major awards show. As artistic director and co-founder of The Glines, the country's oldest producer of gay theatre, he has been a major force in the acceptance of the gay experience as valid material of creative expression. As a writer, John has worked extensively in children's television, including seven years on Captain Kangaroo and four years on Sesame Street, for which he was twice nominated for an Emmy Award. His play In The Desert Of My Soul was anthologized in "Best Short Plays Of 1976", and his musical Gulp! was the longest running Off-Off Broadway production of 1977. His latest plays, originally produced by The Glines, are On Tina Tuna Walk, In Her Own Words, Men Of Manhattan, Chicken Delight, Body And Soul, Murder In Disguise, Key West, Heavenly Days and How Now, Voyager. His last play, Butterflies And Tigers, is based on true stories of the Chinese people during the Cultural Revolution, 1966-76. Concurrently with his theatre work, John was a founding trustee of BROADWAY CARES, which grew out of STAMP OUT AIDS, the non-profit organization he began in 1985 as a result of his work on As Is. John has been honored by numerous organizations, including the New York Pride Agenda (Artistic Vision Award), the Allied Gay and Lesbian Association of Los Angeles and the Off Off Broadway Review (Lifetime Achievement Award); and in June of 2000, he was honored by the Borough President of Brooklyn and the Attorney General of New York State for "enriching the quality of life for all." John was born and raised in California, is a graduate of Yale with a BA in Drama and lives in Bangkok, Thailand.

"Theatrical twinks from the bedroom farce CHICKEN DELIGHT come to roost at XL tonight. If you like your three-piece lean and spicy with a warm side of sex-appeal, you'll want to catch these cuties while you can."
HX Magazine, 7/15/2005

We've enjoyed seeing the cast of gay "bedroom" farce CHICKEN DELIGHT at various bars lately, including XL and View Bar. ...
Juicy! But what would old Frank Perdue, RIP, think? We're sure he was looking down fondly from above.

		"Great fun! Clever and ingenious. Lovers of comedy will miss it at their own risk." Stewart Benedict, MICHAEL'S THING. New York

"A most gay evening of light theatre. Very funny indeed. A hysterical scene takes place involving who's doing what for and/or did what to and with whom. This is a riot! " John Hoglund, PRIVATE LIVES, New York



"Quick, fancy fun. A spoofy take on infidelity and gay dating habits with a minimum of gay in-jokes, an absence of mean-spirited clichés, and a purseful of good gags." Robert L. Peria, NEW TIMES, Phoenix
