“As hiding gets harder, pitch-perfect comedy ensues: slamming doors, strange disguises, preposterous excuses. Eventually, the four must decide whether face-saving domestic lies are worth it, or whether ostracism beats living in fear. In our own era of surveillance and paranoia, their mid-century problems don’t feel so far away.” – The New Yorker
“This is truly what a play should be. Thought-provoking, but with loads of laughs, this terrific show strikes the perfect balance between harsh social criticism and comedy.” –

PERFECT ARRANGEMENT
by Topher Payne
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover.
Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.

Live theatre. Real people. Shared humanity.
As we look ahead to Giving Hearts Day 2026, we’re leading with joy.
At Theatre B, we spend our days bringing people together in a room—sharing breath, laughter, silence, and stories that remind us who we are to one another. In a world that can feel increasingly divided and automated, live theatre remains something beautifully human. It happens because people show up. It exists because people care.
That’s why this Giving Hearts Day, we’re celebrating how Theatre B is made.
Every performance, every rehearsal, every post-show conversation is built by artists, audiences, volunteers, and donors who believe in gathering together to celebrate our shared humanity. Your support doesn’t just fund productions—it fuels connection, empathy, and the rare experience of being fully present with one another.
Theatre B, brought to you by humans like you.
On Giving Hearts Day, your gift helps ensure that live theatre in our community remains joyful, courageous, and accessible. It helps us pay artists, welcome new audiences, and continue telling intimate stories that spark conversation long after the lights fade.
Thank you for being part of this human endeavor. We can’t wait to celebrate it with you.
