From TheChorusBoy at aol.com Mon Feb 1 02:56:21 2010 From: TheChorusBoy at aol.com (TheChorusBoy at aol.com) Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 03:56:21 EST Subject: [OutVoice] St. Louis, MO - "Jade Esteban Estrada Returns to The Lou" Message-ID: THE VITAL VOICE A Modern and Cultural LGBT Lifestyle Magazine Jade Esteban Estrada Returns to The Lou, Feb. 16 in New One-Man-Show Solo theatre artist Jade Esteban Estrada. Photo by MAYRA ALEXANDRA January 31, 2010 (http://thevitalvoice.com/files/images/Jade.jpg) By COLIN MURPHY SENIOR WRITER Read it online: _http://thevitalvoice.com/node/6264_ (http://thevitalvoice.com/node/6264) St. Louis audiences are no strangers to the many talents of Jade Esteban Estrada. Over the past decade the out and proud showman has delighted us at Pridefest and engaged us with his ICONS (The Lesbian and Gay History of the World) trilogy. Estrada wears many creative hats?he is actor, dancer, singer, director, playwright, author, teacher and comedian. Indeed, with a love for queer history and an even greater love for his craft, Estrada is the modern American Renaissance man. On Feb. 16, the "Master Entertainer" brings his latest offering, A Lullaby for Ryan: The History of HIV/AIDS in America to The Urban Eats Caf? (3301 Meramec). The musical comedy introduces us to Boobs (a.k.a. the Bubonic Plague); Jimmy, a real estate agent in New York City in 1981; Rock Hudson; Miss Protease Inhibitor 1996; Bill McPhil, a 53-year-old HIV-positive cowboy and LaShonda, an African-American mother of three in Chicago?s Southside as they chronicle the last quarter-century of the AIDS epidemic in the United States with stories of courage, strength and human triumph. Vital VOICE magazine recently caught up with Estrada via telephone to discuss Lullaby, its many characters, and why he was compelled to pen a comedy about HIV/AIDS. Colin Murphy: So you are returning to St. Louis with A Lullaby for Ryan- Jade Esteban Estrada: I am and I?m really excited about it. I love the show, I really love the show. It?s a musical comedy and it?s a lot of laughs. And a lot of people wonder at first how can a show about HIV/AIDS be funny? they?ve got to see the show. A lot of people who have survived this epidemic have tapped into the resource of laughter. Estrada plays Bill McPhil singing ?Bareback.com.? Photo by JASON FIENHOLD-HAASIS. CM: Is this a show that you can do now but not necessarily a decade or so ago?pre-protease inhibitor? JEE: Yes?that?s a good point. Before 1996 or even 1998 I don?t think I could have come out and done this. Because when the protease inhibitors came out it was a huge shift in the experience of what HIV/AIDS has been not just for our country but the world. So that was almost a ray of hope that we hadn?t had in the past. And it?s certainly changed everything?it really changed everything. It changed it [the disease] from being, as some people say, a death sentence to being a chronic illness. CM: How many characters to you play in this piece? JEE: Seven characters. CM: And how do you transition from character to character? JEE: How I transition from character to character?did you see any of the Icons series? Estrada plays ?Miss Protease Inhibitor 1996.? Photo by JASON FIENHOLD-HAASIS. CM: Yes, I saw part one. JEE: I haven?t changed necessarily the format of how I do things. I stay on stage the whole time and I slowly transform or sometimes swiftly transform from one character to the next. It?s all seamless. Since I last saw you, I ?ve gotten much better at this format. So I really create Lullaby and [am] talking about something that has been, at least for an older generation, very taboo?if not for everybody. I felt almost like my Icons was preparation for this kind of dialogue in this format. CM: Yeah?I was going to ask if Lullaby was born from Icons? JEE: No it?s not. It was just something that I felt I wanted to write about and I hadn?t seen anyone take that comedic approach to it. Because that? s what I do?my 9 to 5 now is I?m a standup comic?and I use humor in every aspect of my professional life. I had been doing so many HIV/AIDS organization benefits and events, that it seemed like a very natural evolution for me to start to discuss the face of HIV/AIDS today in the 21st century. I debuted this in December 2007?it was commissioned by Diamond Foundation of Nebraska. Estrada plays ?Boobs? aka the Bubonic Plague. Photo by MAYRA ALEXANDRA. CM: Do you have a favorite character you would like to talk about? JEE: I absolutely love the Bubonic Plague?I call her Boobs?and she?s this very loud, annoyed Jewish woman from the 1960s. She carries a pet rat named Pookie. She?s just so fabulous and the audience really, really loves her. And what I love about this character is I have the opportunity to give an infection/disease a voice. Everybody talks about how infections and diseases are horrible things but they don?t have a voice to talk about what they want and need. There?s this one moment in the show where I really connect with everybody and she?s talking to them and they?re doing "kawfee talk" and they?re talking about this and that and she says, "You know?I like you. I want to tell you a little secret about us diseases. I probably shouldn?t even be telling you this, but there are only two things that us diseases want to do when we get into the human body: survive and multiply. Repeat after me: survive and multiply." And usually everybody says it with her and she says, "I said repeat, but whatevah." And she?s making them laugh, but she?s also having a very sobering moment with them?that diseases are also organisms?they are living things that just have a mission. I enjoy that character very much because I can see in the faces of the audience that they have never had a conversation with a disease before. It?s a lot of fun to portray her because of who she represents. I mean the Bubonic Plague is this big, scary thing that happened and to be able to see her in a comedic light and just trying to do what she does?spread her diseases?being kind of clumsy and crazy and eccentric?it kind of gives a face to a big scary monster. CM: You also play Rock Hudson? JEE: I do and it?s one of my favorite roles of all time. CM: I was doing the math and its 25-year?s since his passing. He was a tragic figure. Do you think that people are viewing him in different light 25-years out from his death? JEE: He was the person to give AIDS a human face and that was a very important connection for the public who had only been hearing these crazy stories in the newspapers and on television and these rumors from other people. It didn?t have a human impact until someone as famous as Rock represented what he did at the time that he did it. He was the biggest star in the world and for him to have this experience was quite shocking at the time. ?When I actually do him at the press conference in Paris when he has his interview with the press and sings his song; it?s like reliving that moment and I think it brings home the point that it was a turning point. That press conference was a turning point in peoples understanding of what was happening. Estrada plays Rock Hudson. Photo by JASON FIENHOLD-HAASIS. CM: A Lullaby for Ryan is obviously a nod to Ryan White?does his character appear in the show? JEE: No he does not?not as a character. The show is named after him and he? s mentioned once in the very beginning of the song and then there?s no more mention of him. A lot of people say Ryan White?s not in the show?why is that? And my answer to that is, I only have 65-75 minutes with my audience. My audience is a smart crowd?I?ve learned who they are over the past decade?and my answer to that is usually, if you don?t know who Ryan White is you need to Google it. CM: Last question?you are also conducting an Acting Master Class while here in St. Louis?could you talk about that? JEE: Before I?m a person, I believe myself to be an actor. I love my craft very, very much. And I have been drawn to directing and teaching acting technique for years? Recently I have been doing my Acting Master Classes?I call it ?Acting Master Class 2.0??in other cities across the country. It?s such a wonderful opportunity for me to connect with my people?and by my people, I mean other actors. I?ve been doing solo theatre for a long time so one thing I do know is how to survive on stage and survive well and create and build characters. I really enjoy sharing that with the next generation of actors who will come after me. Showtime for "A Lullaby for Ryan: The History of HIV/AIDS in America" is 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door.

Bill Clinton was the first to bring up LGBT issues -- that was in 1999, six years after he had established the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy on gay and lesbian military personnel. In his first State of the Union speech, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA vowed to end that policy. But his oft-repeated promise left many LGBT activists cold (with an excerpt from the President's speech, and music from "Action Speaks Louder Than Words" performed by CHOCOLATE MILK). - A lonesome cowboy caresses a pair of shirts near the end of the film "Brokeback Mountain." Where are those shirts now? They're hanging in the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles.

You may know her from Goldenrod, a well-known women's music distribution company. She's also been a presence at the Folk Alliance conference, women's music festivals and other events. If you can help her, please read on. Thanks. Jamie Jamie Anderson, writer and musician creative - quick - sensible shoes _www.jamieanderson.com/journalist.html_ (http://www.jamieanderson.com/journalist.html) Quit writing your own bio. Contact me. ******************************** Many of you know Susan Frazier: as the manager of Goldenrod Music in Lansing, MI; from her work at Women?s Music Festivals; from the Folk Alliance; from her many years at the YWCA; or her lifetime involvement in Girl Scouts (and if you know her from GS, you likely know her as boots). Some of you are aware that Susan was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) this past September. This cancer of the bone marrow/blood causes the rapid growth of abnormal blood cells that interfere with the production of normal blood cells. Susan?s only symptoms were a lack of energy and excessive bruising. She began treatment at Ingham Regional Medical Center in Lansing immediately following her diagnosis. She has now completed five rounds of chemotherapy in an effort to destroy the abnormal blood cells and bone marrow and keep her in remission for as long as possible. The treatment for leukemia includes the deliberate destruction of the white blood cells, the body?s primary defense against infection, which has resulted in several scary battles with opportunistic bugs and many weeks of hospitalization ? including spending the winter holidays in intensive care. Her best hope for long-term survival is a bone marrow transplant. Testing has determined that her only sister is not a match and Susan is now waiting for a match to be found among the generous individuals who have joined the bone marrow registry. When a match has been found, the transplant procedure will take place at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, MI, and will involve a minimum of four to six weeks of hospitalization, followed by treatments and traveling between Lansing and Ann Arbor twice a week for at least a year. While Susan is hoping that her recovery will happen much faster, the doctors at U of M have told her to plan on not being able to work for a year post transplant. Both the transplant procedure and the recovery time will involve many expenses not covered by insurance that Susan must find a way to pay. Many people have already asked how they can help during this difficult time and we have put together some ideas 1) A bank account is being set up in Susan?s name to which donations can be mailed directly. We will share the address and account number as soon as it is available. You can email _SusanFsFriends at aol.com_ (mailto:SusanFsFriends at aol.com) to receive the account information. Donations are not tax deductible. 2) You can attend one of the fund raisers being organized for Susan?s benefit. To be informed of these events, please email _SusanFsFriends at aol.com_ (mailto:SusanFsFriends at aol.com) 3) You can organize a fund raiser of your own in your area. Perhaps you could host a dinner in your home, or approach a group you belong to. 4) You can join the National Bone Marrow Registry. For more information, or to find a bone marrow registry drive near you, visit _www.marrow.org_ (http://www.marrow.org/) . 5) If you, or someone you know, is pregnant encourage her to donate the umbilical cord blood at the time of birth - labor and delivery are not affected. No blood is taken from your baby, only from the umbilical cord itself after your baby is born. This invaluable blood is routinely discarded after birth. You can obtain more information at _www.marrow.org_ (http://www.marrow.org/) . 6) Send your good wishes and cards to Susan at _sfbootshealth at aol.com_ (mailto:sfbootshealth at aol.com) . 7) Continue to hold Susan in your thoughts and prayers, send her healing energy, light candles ? whatever you are moved to do.

Photo by JASON FIENHOLD-HAASIS. Since 2007, Jade Esteban Estrada has performed his one-man show A Lullaby for Ryan: The History of HIV/AIDS in America on stages across North America. The show, created in honor of World AIDS Day in 2007, is a brilliant showcase for his talents, and a powerful document of the disease's human impact. Beginning with an expert witness ? the Bubonic Plague (?Boobs? for short) ? A Lullaby for Ryan traces the spread of HIV/AIDS through the perspective of lives both public (such as actor Rock Hudson) and private (such as Jimmy, a real estate agent who first hears of the disease in 1981). It's a heavy subject, of course, but Estrada finds both pathos and unexpected humor in the stories he tells. The search for treatments is framed as a beauty pageant, with the winner an exuberant ?Miss Protease Inhibitor 1996?; in a raucous and hilarious number, cowboy Phil McPhil discovers the benefits [and joys] of safe sex through the Internet; and Boobs, well aware of her reputation, gamely offers to shake hands with the audience. At the same time, Estrada brings grace and dignity to the stories of LaShonda Johnson, a Chicago housewife guilty only of trusting her man, and Hudson, who responds to the disease with the poise of a movie star. Estrada moves seamlessly between characters, his performance and songs making each distinct, nuanced, and memorable. In his hands, Jimmy and Phil and LaShonda become more than mere statistics; they are people. The San Antonio premiere of A Lullaby for Ryan at The Rose Theatre was greeted with a well-deserved standing ovation, echoing the acclaim Estrada has earned with each performance. Its success proves that a human story, well told, is truly universal.

As a result, more than 13,500 "outed" service members have been discharged -- including "mission critical" personnel such as Arabic language specialists. President Barack Obama has consistently criticized the policy, and he renewed his vow to end it in his State of the Union address last week. Despite the Administration's previous pledges, new testimony from Pentagon officials to the SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE on February 2nd was the most tangible sign of action (includes testimony by DEFENSE SECRETARY ROBERT GATES and JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF CHAIRMAN ADMIRAL MICHAEL MULLEN, comments by REPUBLICAN SENATORS JOHN McCAIN and SAXBY CHAMBLISS, and an exchange between SENATOR JOE LIEBERMAN and COMMITTEE CHAIR SENATOR CARL LEVIN about how many votes would be required for repeal; the Family Research Council's PETER SPRIGG opposes repeal and calls for homosexuality to again be criminalized during a joust with the host of MSNBC's "Hardball with CHRIS MATTHEWS"; and highly-decorated 19-year Air Force pilot/Iraq War veteran LT.

Now he?s returning with another solo effort, this one about HIV. But ?A Lullaby for Ryan: The History of HIV/AIDS in America,? is a lot more theatrical than that title sounds. An original musical-comedy (Estrada wrote it), ?Lullaby? finds Estrada portraying a host of characters, among them Rock Hudson, Miss Protease Inhibitor 1996 and ?Boobs,? AKA the bubonic plague. Estrada, who tours internationally, has appeared on ?30 Rock? and ?The Graham Norton Effect.? He was the host of the 19th annual South Florida GLAAD Media Awards, which aired on Bravo. The show starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16, at the Urban Eats Cafe, 3301 Meramec St. Tickets - $12 in advance, $15 at the door ? are available through Urban Eats (urbaneatscafe.com/tickets). The show is presented by Urban Eats, Ragged Blade theatre and the St. Louis LGBT Center. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the center. _www.getjaded.com_ (http://www.getjaded.com/) _www.facebook.com/jadestebanestrada_ (http://www.facebook.com/jadestebanestrada) _www.twitter.com/getjaded.com_ (http://www.twitter.com/getjaded.com) From len at stonewallsociety.com Fri Feb 12 12:00:32 2010 From: len at stonewallsociety.com (Len Rogers SWS) Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:00:32 -0500 Subject: [OutVoice] Pride In The Arts Music Awards Update Message-ID: <1DB5A52B68D848CFA52249164FF03417@D8LLQDC1> Voting is open for the Pride In The Arts Music Awards at www.prideinthearts.com Good luck all nominees!

As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living." ~ Germaine Greer E-cards are sent through 123Greetings.com.
