“The Wilma Holehurt Show”
Written by Michael Bach
Directed by Les Porter
Michael Bach, executive producer
“Stand Back! It’s Gonna Get Ugly.”
Stand Back is a musical comedy dragtravaganza that examines the past, present and future of Wilma Holhurt, a combo southern belle, and Broadway baby.
It features stories about Wilma’s life, intermixed with live singing (not lip sinked), including songs from the pop, country, soul, R&B, and disco genres. Included are audience participation segments, and three multi-media presentations.
Christian Jeffries, who plays Wilma Holhurt, is a professionally trained actor and singer. He has appeared in many theatrical productions, including “Grease,” “Chess,” and “Evita,” as well as in film and television in such shows as “Soldiers Girl,” and “Queer as Folk.”
“She’s [Wilma’s] funny, sassy, and when she sings, it’s like an angel from heaven. Outstanding!” - Next Magazine
“An exceptional show stopper.” - Ambush Magazine
“The Wilma Holehurt Show” was formerly “The Daisy and Wilma Show”.
For the “The Daisy and Wilma Show,” Michael Bach played Daisy Chain, and Christian Jeffries played Wilma Holhurt.
“Ms. Daisy Chain sings and dances and heats up the stage with her sultry Southern charm in a
one-woman extravaganza. … Every song is a show stopper. The lovely Daisy delivers each line like she’s ‘been there, done that’ and got the scars and the pipes to prove it.” - Provincetown Banner

Written by the collective
Directed by Miriam Ginestier
Produced by Mim Productions and OUT Productions
A francophile magical evening of retro entertainment, silent films, circus acts, dance and physical theater, which was inspired by early forms of Burlesque, Vaudeville and turn-of-the-century Music Hall.
Le Boudoir has had a decade of sold-out performances in Montreal, and was seen at Toronto’s “Hysteria Festival” in October 2005.
Hosted by Nathalie Claude, with Mimi “Queen of Rag” Blais on piano.
The show requires 4-5 people to help with a local production, a video projector, and local participation. Each local host finds performers for two of the pieces in the show, as well as add a couple of local acts.
“A bawdy, cheeky, flirty, just-a-teensy-bit dirty, summer lesbian vaudeville event.” - Outlooks Magazine
“A cabaret burlesque institution in Montreal, where ‘high’ meets ‘low’ art in a lush, sexy romp.” – Toronto X-Tra!
“For a wickedly fun evening’s entertainment in the big city to the north, it might be well worth a trip to Le Boudoir.” – Mountainpridemedia.org
“What happens on stage is where Le Boudoir’s creativity truly shines and becomes the time when the audience gets the rowdiest.” – In Newsweekly

Julie Brown’s live show, “Smell the Glamour” is an insane combination of songs, comedy and videos featuring her brand new hit “I Want to be Gay” and her cult classic, “The Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun!”
The show includes Julie’s “Festival of Wigs” during which she plays famous women — from Mary Kate Olsen to Frieda Kahlo — and includes an impersonation of Madonna singing “Party in my Pants” and “Vague.” Other show highlights include revealing what Paris Hilton is really like backstage, and what Sharon Stone would look like doing a Depends commercial on the set of “Basic Instinct 5.”
“Smell the Glamour” is not for children. (Julie won’t let her own son see this act.)

“I Look Like an Egg, but I Identify as a Cookie”
An interactive baking comedy
Written and performed by Heather Gold
Heather makes chocolate chip cookies with the audience through her own hilarious and provocative exploration of the “Recipe:” heterosexuality (dry), lesbianism (wet), the Left (mix), and other tasty 80s tunes and secret ingredients.
Heather searches for her whole self as she sifts through the complexities of sexuality and identity with the simple truths of baking.
While “I Look…Cookie” follows a recipe, it involves the audience in the heart of the mix, letting Heather’s gift for extemporaneous comedy and insight fly.

“Confessions of a Mormon Boy”
Written by Steven Fales
Directed by Jack Hofsiss
In his autobiographical one-man play, Fales (a sixth generation Mormon) tells the story of his failed attempt to overcome his same-sex attraction through “reparative therapy” which resulted in his divorce and excommunication from the Mormon church. Told with warmth and humor, he illuminates the dilemma of those struggling to reconcile their dreams of becoming straight with the realities of being gay and what it costs to accept or deny that truth, especially when children are involved.
Shortly after coming out, he moved to New York City where he entered the gay underworld of escorting in a free-for-all period he calls his “gay adolescence.” The play shows what it took for him to leave prostitution, reclaim a life of integrity, and get back his “Donny Osmond” smile.
“When one can be so moved as to laugh till your jaw hurts, wince with a sorry recognition at the pain distorted religion can inflict, cheer with unashamed abandon at an enviable and inspiring bravery so rarely expressed in the face of certain banishment and ridicule, you know you have had a thrilling and emotionally fulfilling theatrical experience.” - Lucie Arnaz, actress and activist

“None of the Above”
Performed by Jennifer Lanier
Written by Jennifer Lanier and Robert Moyer
Directed by Robert Moyer
A 90-minute solo, comic roller coaster ride through the racial, gay-straight, and gender identity eyes of a tail-end baby-boomer. Her impersonations are done without props, utilizing only body language and voice modulations. Lanier’s distinctly recognizable characters include: first grade teacher Mrs. Wiseman, with her perfect posture and elocution; chain smoking Aunt Vera offering up the sweet potato pie, unconditional love, and simple insights that every misunderstood child craves; Daddy the Colonel and Momma with her “issues;” and Dr. Machemer, Austrian psychiatrist extraordinaire.
“A flash of beauty and inspiration … Jennifer Lanier, who had come from Hawaii to perform in the Road Show, delivered a rollicking monologue.” - Erika Kinetz, New York Times
“Told in a multiplicity of voices, Lanier switches between these roles as easily as slipping off one pair of shoes and putting on another.” - Julie Mitchell, Hawaii Island Journal
“ ‘None of the Above’ touches on issues which resonate with young and old, white, black and in-between, gay, straight and bisexual. … She approaches sensitive issues with forthrightness and humor that draws the audience in. Her personal charisma and storytelling skills make for an extremely entertaining event.” - Lauren Whitaker, Director of Student Activities, North Carolina School of the Arts

Fiely A. Matias is “Lounge-Zilla!”
Dennis T. Giacino is “Scary Manilow.”
“Lounge-Zilla!” is the internationally-touring, award-winning “Armageddon of Queer Cabaret” that features an atomic blast of twisted music, naughty comedy, and an outrageous 3D finale that must be seen to be believed.
A “bad boy” cabaret, “Lounge-Zilla!” gleefully rifles through hilariously off-beat and bawdy original tunes about such taboo topics as fetishes, threesomes, stalking, love triangles, sex change operations and fag hags.
The show has performed throughout the Caribbean for gay cruise companies, was the “Official Comedy Event” at Gay Days in Orlando and was also the only U.S. act featured at Camp Comedy 2006, Singapore’s first gay comedy festival.

“Somewhere in Between”
Written by Ronny Almog
Directed by Issi Mamanov
Gender identity is the focus, and questions about sexual identity, religious belief, political orientation, and the individual in society are raised. The play exposes states of distress, pain, confusion, joy, and pleasure.
The play premiered during Pride Month 2003 in Tzavta Theater, Tel-Aviv. It continues to run regularly in Tel-Aviv and throughout Israel. Coming to San-Francisco in April 2005.
“Issi directed a young group of actors with extraordinary craftsmanship that reminded me of an exact, colorful and rich-in-details embroidery, in miniatures that add up to a big cloth that wraps the audience and hugs them. A few scenes will stay in my mind. One of them that is played wholly with the actors’ feet is splendid and sexy to the extreme.” - Zvi Goren, Y-Net
