Martin Sherman's Bent opened on Broadway almost 30 years ago, but the power of its storytelling, which helped win it the 1980 Tony Award as best play, hasn't aged. Fort Lauderdale's Rising Action Theatre is taking on its biggest dramatic challenge to date in producing Sherman's play about gay men who were shipped off to Nazi concentration camps. Michael Perry, Larry Brooks and Larry Buzzeo, who is also staging the play, are featured in the cast. Bent, which contains sexual situations and nudity, runs through July 19 at Rising Action, 840 E. Oakland Park Blvd. Performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday and Friday-Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets cost $35 ($25 this Friday, Sunday and Wednesday only). Call 800-595-4849 or visit www.risingactiontheatre.com.
