"In Oh, Holy Allen Ginsberg.... they have created a play about an adult gay relationship that is funny, poignant, challenging and that has the smell of truth.

Oh, Holy Allen Ginsberg is the story of two days in the life of Gerry Gallagher, a conflicted but appealing gay Irish Catholic priest, and his long-time lover, Josh Kaplan, a jewish atheist professor of English... In the course of the eve and day of St. Valentine, Gerry confronts an AIDS-related TB diagnosis, an archdiocesan plan to close his Puerto Rican parish.... and an attempt to patch things up with Josh on what should be their seventh anniversary "
