Once upon a time in San Francisco...
A rollicking farce set in the San Francisco Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Transvestite community

In a former mortuary, now converted into a cafe/cabaret/gallery and run by a petty tyrant, a diverse group of employees are preparing for a cabaret and gallery opening when two unexpected and unwanted visitors turn up, bringing chaos as well as gender and sexual mischief. A celebration of the emerging gay community in San Francisco.
