Men in the Chorus

Julian Novak

Description

Men in the Chorus is a rare mix of fantasy and memoir inspired by Boys in the Band. This is a stage play with a unique approach to share life events by juggling the names and places just enough to protect others but still confessing all. A play to entertain while considering the gravity of the actions and mistakes of the main character, Julian Novak.The innocence and not knowing when to say 'no' can have a long-reaching and profound effect on our lives and the lives of others. Some parts of this play are 'what ifs' but mostly what was and did happen and the friends that stood close by the man who led the chorus. Julian Novak was a true product of the 70s. A time, an age with very few rule books on how to mix life and love. A shy young man looking for love in all the wrong places but thanks to friends, he landed on a stage in a state of grace with newly found family.

About The Author
Julian Novak is a dreamer whose greatest gift from God is his imagination. He once flew to Rome to meet a goddess of classical beauty he kissed in a dream. After waiting two hours in the Pantheon for the most talented singer to ever live, he discovered her stunt double in the plaza. Julian can spot a fake at one hundred paces. He can smell a Laffite signature from the same distance. He is the guy you see at the coffee shop reading the Art’s section of the New York Times or the guy in a suit and tie standing in front of the Winged Victory at the Louvre, adoring Michelangelo’s Moses in a church in Rome, a Louis David painting of Napoleon or just stuck in front of the Elgin Marbles at The British Museum. His love of performance places him front row for a Broadway musical or in the East End in London. His love of biographies, his love of beauty, perfect symmetry, ionic Capitals, Greek vases and historical characters living and dead makes him the neo-classical man who is always in season.
Dedication
To all the Men I have loved before
To Ronnie Klein, my first crush
To Carl, my first love and Clifford, my last
To the Women that asked me to play Russian roulette
‘Hubba Hubba’ Girl, I never knew your name, Karen, Rita
and
To Terry, good thing you said no to marriage,
It would have taken too long for my ship to come in.
My prayer is that I shot blanks
To the men who played and died, none of you knew the danger of the game.
To the Friends and Family that sustain me.
And above all, to Jesus for his forgiveness.
