Charles Fugate represented the straight man (well, sort of) in the center of a glitzy posse of bruised and battered boy and girl hustlers in Late Night Theatre's Sweet Underground Charity. With so much gloss and mascara plastered about, Fugate's conservatively dressed gentleman might have been lost. But he played Charity's boyfriend exactly as written -- as if Charity wasn't being played by Ron Megee. His performance was so effective because it was so shockingly simple.
