Fast-moving and frequently hilarious, Standing on Ceremony is a staged reading of nine ten-minute plays focusing on gay marriage, with proceeds going to gay rights advocacy groups. Veteran Broadway actress Harriet Harris steals the show in two very funny pieces by Paul Rudnick. In one, she plays a right-wing woman from Ohio convinced that a disembodied "bitchy" voice is informing her of "the gay agenda"; in the second, she plays a Manhattanite so ashamed of her gay son's single status that she Photoshops a husband for him and sends a wedding announcement to The New York Times.
