14th Annual BGL Cruise Presents Highly Acclaimed Play About Gay Schoolteacher Accused of Child Molestation

Sailing November 2-10, 2011

For the first time, The Songmaster BGL Cruise will present its guests with an evening of enchanting live theatre! “Armstrong’s Kid”, featuring NPA Thandiwe De Shazor, is a riveting piece written by  three time NAACP Theatre Award and NAACP Image Award-winning novelist, playwright, filmmaker, journalist and actor Stanley Bennett Clay. The play stars a gay schoolteacher (Clay) who is falsely accused of child molestation by his best friend’s fourteen-year-old son and spends nearly a year in prison before the truth is revealed.

Eleven years later, the now-grown accuser (co-star Thandiwe Thomas De Shazor) goes to the cabin retreat of the falsely accused to seek forgiveness. What follows is a blistering showdown, ripe with bitter confrontations, shocking revelations, vicious humor, hidden desires, and bitter truths exposed.

The Songmaster BGL Cruise may be smooth sailing but Stanley Bennett Clay’s “Armstrong’s Kid” promises to rock you like you’ve never been rocked before!

Sailing: Nov. 2 through 10, 2011
