As I alluded to in my post last week, Development plans to replace Boston’s Ramrod Machine will include a LGBTQ theater, the developers (SCAPE) are working with Ryan Landry and his Gold Dust Orphans to ensure that once Machine / Ramrod closes there remains theater space so this troupe of misfits can “continue their important and educational work”. Isn’t that how Ryan describes their work?
