After his long-term boyfriend suddenly breaks up with him, Glenn dives into the world of 1970s gay nightlife in NYC, hoping to erase the memory of his ex. However, when a new group of friends invites him to compete in a Men’s Leather Contest, Glenn is forced to confront the truth of his relationship head-on. Mr. Leather, 1976 is a story of finding community and family inside a world of kink. The play’s themes honor queer traditions of the past by highlighting the power of standing in your truth and forging connections based on authenticity — something today’s leather community still practices, fifty years later.
