Everything is Connected: An Evening of Stories, Most Weird, Many True


Saturday, February 22, at 7 p.m. Sunday, February 23, at 3 p.m. Experience the artful, playful, outrageously funny, and deeply moving storytelling craft of Peterson Toscano. Connecting issues and ideas to bizarre personal experiences, literature, science, and even the odd Bible story, Peterson transforms right before your eyes into a whole cast of comic characters who explore the serious worlds of gender, sexuality, privilege, religion, and environmental justice. Free. Content best for ages 12 and older. Peterson Toscano spent 17 years and more than $30,000 on three continents attempting to “de-gay” himself through gay conversion therapy. After coming out gay, he shared his experience in the one-person comedy “Doin’ Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House.” Along with fellow conversion therapy survivors, he launched an international campaign to reveal the dangers of conversion therapy and ex-gay ministries. Peterson also highlights gender non-conforming people in the Bible. He has presented “Transfigurations–Transgressing Gender in the Bible” at academic conferences, seminaries, universities, places of worship, and drag bars.
