Buyer & Cellar was the Critics’ Pick in the New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out NY and Entertainment Weekly. Buyer & Cellar premiered at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in 2013.
In the basement of a house on her Malibu estate, Barbra Streisand created a private fantasy world to display her accumulated tchotchkes: a narrow cobblestoned “street” of boutiques, from an antique doll store and confectionery with its own taffy-making machine to a dress shop filled with favorite costumes from her films. In a one-man comedy, Urie plays Alex More. Alex is down on his luck after being recently fired from Disneyland. He lands a job curating the basement of Barbara Streisand. Urie's performance in the 2013 one-man show Buyer & Cellar won him a Clarence Derwent Award as well as a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. The production was the recipient of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show. This benefit production of Buyer & Cellar is Directed by Nic Cory.
Ticket sales benefit PRIDE PLAYS and The Rattlestick Playwrights Theater 25th Anniversary. Tickets are available for $100.00. With a purchase of a $150.00 ticket, audience members receive a meet and greet with Michael Urie following the performance.
PRIDE PLAYS returns in 2020 due to rapturous community response and overwhelming demand.

PRIDE PLAYS examines the moments that shaped the LGBTQ rights movement in our country, and how the past impacted the present. PRIDE PLAYS returns for a second year to take an even deeper dive into how the pain, activism, and leadership of the past got us to where we are, and how they might point us to the future. PRIDE PLAYS is produced by Festival Producers Doug Nevin and Michael Urie. PRIDE PLAYS Festival Director is Nick Mayo.
