Michael Kearns in Alive & Kicking December It's sexy, romantic, bittersweet, funny, and poignant. In his latest effort, Alive & Kicking, Michael Kearns explores the world of theatre pre-AIDS through the present. Highlights include juicy tidbits from an actual column that he writes, presentation of several favorite characters from "Intimacies" and an audience-participation scene from "The Boys in the Band." |

Joan Lipkin, Artistic Director for that UPPITY theatre company, has arranged for Kearns to arrive early in the week to participate in the service and do some educational school visits. "Michael has always pursued bridges between his activism and his art," said Lipkin. "He is an extraordinarily talented and generous individual whose contributions as an actor, writer, teacher and director range from founding Artists Confronting AIDS, to groundbreaking performances of his own work on stage, and in film and television."
Other highlights around Michael Kearns' production include another pre-show mini concert by the Gateway Mens Choir, under the direction of Bill Odeman. This performance will be on Friday, opening night, before the show. "This choir concert represents an exciting new partnership for us and is an especially wonderful way to welcome Michael back to St. Louis," says Artistic Director, Joan Lipkin. Michael Kearns' performances are Friday, December 3 and Saturday, December 4 at 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, December 5 at 4:00 p.m. at the St. Marcus Theatre. Ticket discounts are available for students, seniors and groups. For more information, call 314-995-4600. Michael's visit is made possible in part by support from the Regional Arts Commission and the Missouri Arts Council, Frank Siano, and Healthline Management, Inc. |
