    Tel-a-Gay programming controversy

    After a rent dispute led owner Roger Euster to replace the theater's managers, Tel-a-Gay introduced an all-gay-pornography program. Local groups immediately protested and picketed the venue, which closed the next day. Discussions later produced a trial agreement to restore the theater's prior repertory format.
