Dorian's Wild(e) Affair

September 4 - 6, 2026

A deliciously devilish world-premiere musical

Dorian’s Wild(e) Affair is a deliciously devilish world-premiere musical, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Set in the gritty, glamorous world of 1970s NYC, it tells of a young man, determined to make a name for himself… by any means necessary. Will his plot succeed? What would you give up to become a star? Featuring music by Weathervane’s own Andrew Morrissey, lyrics by Mark William, and book by Charles Abbott.
