"From a tender age, Scott Townsend's life was ruled by his slippery gender. Growing up a girly-boy in the projects of Cambridge, MA, under the watch of Doris, his dysfunctional, single mom, Scott was prey to bullying and assault. Already a talented singer and performer, Scott grows up to be revered drag queen Thirsty Burlington and to delight club goers in Provincetown, MA, with his spot-on impersonation of Cher. But even in a gay mecca, being Thirsty comes at a price. Inspired by events in Scott/Thirsty's life, Thirsty is a true-life musical adventure as dramatic as it is entertaining"--Container.
