biography
When openly gay New York playwright Douglas Cater Beane got the news that his first screenplay, "Too Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar" (1995), had been sold, he was earning a living as a baby-sitter for friends. He trained at ASCAP's Musical Theatre Workshop where he wrote the book and score for the musical revue "White Lies" which was based on the tabloid THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER. Shortly thereafter, he enjoyed a brief success with his first produced full-length play, "Advice From a Caterpillar" (1991), co-starring Dennis Christopher and Ally Sheedy.While on vacation with his mother
