"If ever the marque of a performance venue could capture the contradictory, heat-struck culture of 1970s Charlotte, this was surely it; This photo has become a piece of Charlotte iconography: four acts that don't seem to belong in the same galaxy, much less the same arena. But they all fit into the old Charlotte Coliseum, and they left a lot of stories behind, even if Billy Graham never got a chance to wrestle Elvis."

Abstract:
"Nearly 50 years ago, the city erupted over the production of an ward-winning play about gay men and AIDS. The battle set a rigid mold for Charlotte's approach to the performing arts. We haven't broken it yet." For years after "Angels" appeared, Charlotte arts funding operated on the principal that if they didn't like a production connected with gay or left-centered themes they wouldn't fund it. This was backed by a voting bloc on the Charlotte city council known as the "Gang of Five".
