It stars Dan Futterman (the son in The Birdcage and the tortured writer on television’s Judging Amy) and the delightful Alan Cumming (the hotel clerk who flirted with Tom Cruise in an unforgettable scene during Eyes Wide Shut and a Tony Award winner for Cabaret ) in an insightful look at one man’s homosexuality. Futterman plays a New Yorker whose day-to-day life constantly is interrupted by strangers who just have experi enced some bizarre urban legend. In addition, he’s newly single, but it’s a big mystery how that came to pass. He finds himself searching for an elusive macho man while fending off the advances of his friend, played by Cumming. The answered questions will shock you, and the unanswered questions will haunt you. R o ll c a ll! ops, soldiers and firefighters should be at attention Dec. 2 for the last Uniform Party of the year.
