Mike Jones, the prostitute/drug liaison who brought down pastor Ted Haggard, is about to appear in his first stage play. And it's for a theater company called Perfect Disgrace.

Insert your own joke here.

The play is called "Porridge," and Jones, 50, will be playing a role inspired by - himself. Boulder playwright Brian Bauman, a 29-year-old gay man, sees Jones as a man who took a risk, uncovered a hypocrite, and was then abandoned by the gay community.

"Porridge" deals with issues of truth and hypocrisy in power relationships. More specifically, Bauman said, "it's the story of three Gulf War Marines who go AWOL after being exposed to friendly-fire nerve gas in an all-base orgy."

Bauman calls it a scathing (and "decimatingly funny") investigation of American cultural imperialism in the Middle East, the quagmire of the Persian Gulf War and the shadows cast by "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
