Harvey Fierstein
Perhaps one of the most well known, funny, and beloved gay man in the country, Harvey Fierstein has touched people throughout his acting career with memorable performances in "Torch Song Trilogy", "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Independence Day", and "Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde". He has been in a long line of Broadway shows and movies and is an icon in lesbian and gay culture. Harvey's performance is based on his new CD This Is Not Going To Be Pretty. His show is a true performing arts piece in which along with piano accompanist, Harvey belts out songs, anecdotes, and a fine tuned humor that will leave the audience with a deeper understanding of why Harvey has become the star he is today. However, whether lecturing, delivering a musical performance, or a combination of both, Harvey's passion for his work and recognizable one of a kind voice, make him a guaranteed coup to have on stage.
Lea DeLaria
Lea DeLaria is not the "girl next door". In fact, she's not even allowed in the neighborhood. Lea is a stand-up comic, actress, and civil rights activist whose brash comedic style has landed her in the national spotlight that includes appearances on "The Arsenio Hall Show", the "Friends" series gay marriage episode, the movie "First Wives Club", and as host of Comedy Central's first all-gay special "Out There". Lea can been seen as the recurring character Detective Pat Poletti on "Matlock, and on "The John Larroquette Show" as Loreli the bartender. Lea has performed to sold out audiences all over the United States and Europe and her show should not be missed. As Lea says "...it's the new millennium, it's hip to be queer, and I'm a big dyke."
Holly Hughes
Obie-winning writer and notorious poster girl for free expression, Holly Hughes returns to the stage with a new solo piece: "Preaching to the Perverted". Holly was one of the "NEA Four", a group of artists who sued the Federal Government over funding restrictions, ending up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. Holly is both incredibly funny and incredibly deep in her examination of one lesbian's adventure at the Supreme Court. Mixing the lyrical language for which she is well known with scathing political commentary she takes on the issues of censorship, decency, family values, and even lesbian chic. A gifted comedian, she has a fresh and funny point of view. Her observations on contemporary society appeal to a wider audience then she might ever imagine.
Steve Moore
Out but not down, staying positive about living with HIV, gay comedian and lecturer, Steve Moore turns his fight for survival into the edgiest of fodder in his one man show "Drop Dead Gorgeous: The Power of HIV-Positive Thinking". As featured on his "HBO Comedy Special", Steve powerfully and eloquently opens up his life in a way that few performers do, let alone one with AIDS. Having survived turning 40 against the odds, Steve says. "through anecdotes my presentation allows the audience to meet the people in my life... They can understand my friends and family and perhaps through that they can help understand themselves." One would think that AIDS is not something to laugh about, but Steve is more than an entertainer, he is a highly courageous individual with a hard and enduring story to tell.
