Maury Sparrow ’87<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maury Sparrow, a 1987 Transylvania University graduate and\nLexArts communications director, is hosting an apr\u00e8s-theater cocktail party on\nSaturday, May 18, to raise money for the university’s John Fryer Fund for\nDiversity and Inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests of the event, which will follow that evening’s\nperformance of \u201c217 Boxes of Dr. Henry Anonymous,” will include the cast\nand Ain Gordon, the play\u2019s Obie Award-winning writer and director. Reserve\ntickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The party will be at the newly renovated home of Sparrow and Craig Wahlgren, which is a short walk from the Little Theater play venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performances of the off-Broadway production will be at 7:30 p.m. on May 16, 17 and 18 and at 2:30 p.m. on May 19. Tickets are free, and cash or check donations will be collected at the door to also benefit the Fryer Fund. Also, there will be a talk-back session with Gordon after the opening performance on May 16. Reserve tickets for the play on the transy.edu website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c217\nBoxes<\/a>” tells the story of John Fryer, a seminal but overlooked pioneer\nin the battle for LGBTQ equality. The 1957 Transylvania graduate and psychiatrist\nhelped declassify homosexuality as a mental disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a story that people don’t know, and it’s a story\nthat people should know,” said Sparrow, who also hopes to bring a historic\nmarker honoring Fryer to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparrow noted the cultural change in attitude not just since\nFryer’s time\u2014but since the ’80s when Sparrow was a college student. “My\ntime at Transylvania was a wonderful experience,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it was a time\nwhen homosexuality was still covered in a course called Deviant Behavior. It\nwasn’t quite self-affirming that I was somehow ‘deviant.’ That is the struggle\nso many have suffered, and many still do. But the strides have been great and\nthe momentum for an inclusive society continues to build.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now at Transylvania, in addition the recent Pride\nWeek<\/a>, students and alumni have resources such as TUnity<\/a>,\nthe LGBT* Alumni Network and the university\u2019s Office of Diversity and\nInclusion<\/a>. “Transy is such an open and affirming university\nnow,” Sparrow said. “And I think it\u2019s great to continue that\ntradition.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Transylvania alum, Tim Collins \u201981, saw \u201c217 Boxes\u201d\nduring its New York City run and then raised money to bring it to campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
