Wild&Precious

My one-man show, Wild&Precious, is a multi-media performance in two acts (75 minutes) which includes original songs, photographs, costume, stories, and poems. I tell my story: born in Vermont a sissy boy in the 50's, deep in the closet in the late 60's, part of the gay movement in the 70's, AIDS activist in the 80's and now psychotherapist, gay married-to-my-man family man with son in Massachusetts. Come OUT to celebrate the social and psychological attachments that helped me and our first Gay Generation come out of the "straight" jacket into fullness of being men. Please see the show's web site for my bio, and audience buzz. www.wildandprecious.org.

The piece dramatically brings to life universal themes: gender, sexuality, shame, mental health, social change, stigma, resilience, parenting, aging, the therapeutic relationship, HIV, diverse family structure, family life cycle, and the healing power of love. These are all themes from my life and my work as a group psychotherapist and group therapy educator (BU Graduate School of Social Workers, Harvard Psychiatric Residents) over these past 35 years. The show is great entertainment, builds community, and affirms social change!

The show kicked off Gay Pride in Boston, Worcester and Burlington. It has been featured at Brown, Amherst, Smith College,Fenway Health Center, and a Harvard Teaching Hospital. San Diego, LA, San Francisco, Orcas Island and just did Off-Broadway for New York Pride. People love the show: they laugh, cry, and are moved. Come OUT for the SHOW!
