Joe Buck, a fringe jacketed Texan who comes to New York is convinced he can carve out a new life for himself as a male hustler. But he encounters a very different city in reality than the one he has seen on television. Instead of entertaining rich Park Avenue Ladies, Joe soon finds himself scraping a living on the fringes of Times Square and turning tricks with whoever offers him money - male or female. But when he meets Ratso Rizzo he embarks on an unlikely friendship which transcends his lonely, dog-eat-dog experiences on the mean streets of Manhattan. Based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy and the MGM movie.T0904190137Producer Assembly Theatre. Producer Incidental Colman. Producer Marshall Cordell (in association with ScreenStage).
