Off to Wales and England


I fly out to London on Thursday and then head directly to Cardiff with George W. Bush (well my Bush theater piece at least). I will spend a week in Southern Wales and hopefully will explore some. I love the Welsh coast and haven't been for some time. You can get details for Saturday's show in Cardiff here.

After Wales I am off to the Greenbelt Festival. Few places feel like home like Greenbelt did last year--with the Tiny Tea Tent, the amazing presenters, the off-beat theater and progressively cool Christians (and others). They even have an organic beer tent! Come on how cool is that!

For all you Greenbelters, I have a tentative schedule of what and when and where I will present.
Engagement 1
Event: The rE-Education of George W. Bush
Date: Saturday 25th August 2007
Venue: Mandarin
Start time: 19.30 End time: 20.45

Engagement 2
Event: Doin’ Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House
Date: Sunday 26th August 2007
Venue: Mandarin
Start time: 17.00 End time: 18.30

Engagement 3
Event: Drama Workshop
Date: Monday 27th August 2007
Venue: The Mix (ages 11-14)
Start time: 16.15 End time: 17.45
In addition to the shows, I have a few weeks to knock around and visit with friends. Still working on the schedule. So many Brits, so little time!

A few *weeks*?! Oh, Peterson, I feel like singing that 70's song...

"Yooouuuuuu-ooooo left me, just when I needed you most..." =(

(Sorry...I had a positively *awful* day yesterday, made worse by the fact that it should have been positively *wonderful*. I'll get over it! Today is a new day!)

Travel safe, perform true, be blessed!

ally, ally, ally, darling, don't think of it as me leaving you. Rather think of it as me getting closer to you by going the long way around. I mean if I keep traveling east, I will eventually get to Texas. :-)

Sorry about the awful day. Let's talk before I leave.

My Gay Husband--A Spouse Speaks Out

The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

The False Image of LIA

John Smid and me-Graduation 1998 (above) & John Smid today (left) By now many have heard that Tennessee's Department of Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities determined that the "ex-gay" program, Love in Action, is operating two “unlicensed mental health supportive living facilities”. LIA has until Friday, September 23 to respond. If LIA statements in Eartha Jane Melzer's article are indicative to how the "change" program might respond, we may see LIA change right before our eyes from a clinical mental health compound into a house of praise and worship. Gerard Wellman, business administrator for Love in Action, and a former Love in Action client, said Sept. 13 that the organization has been in contact with the state but would not comment further. “As a church, we operate under a different set of rules,” Wellman said. Curious, and what rules might these be? What is even more curious is that according to LIA's site only one staff member ...

Puzzled

Last night I performed Transfigurations-Transgressing Gender in the Bible at Imago Dei Metropolitan Community Church in Glen Mills, PA (about 15 miles outside of Philly). I had a diverse audience of about 45 people -- college students, Quakers, straight, bi, trans and lesbian, young and old. I took my time with the piece maintaining a gentle meditative pace. For the ending when I reveal the identity of the narrator, I had instructed the light tech to dim the lights. Then as the closing music swelled, I asked her to raise the lights to their brigthest intensity. With the music playing, I exited. Always (up until last night) at this point the audience applauds, I wait 5 seconds then come out to take a bow. Last night I exited and then nothing. No one clapped. They sat quietly as the music played. I stood back stage puzzled, baffled. Now what do I do? Wait? Go out anyway? And I wondered for a moment, Did they hate it? Did I confuse them? Offend them? Bore them into a coma? After what ...
