Joan Lipkin of That Uppity Theatre Company passed this info to me yesterday, and being on deadline, I've had a hard time getting it up in a timely fashion; but it's a biggie. It's a little more than a month off, but one to mark on your calendars. Like the Iraq war, like Katrina, AIDS is a crisis that has passed out of being a case du jour, but still needs our attention. Thank goodness for artists and activists like Michael Kearns, who refuse to let us just turn away from these crises. but can still uplift, transform and amaze us with their art in the process. --Stefene Russell. Here are all the details: On Friday, November 20, intimacies will be performed at 8pm, at Metropolitan Community Church of Greater Saint Louis, located at 1919 S. Broadway, 63104 and produced by That Uppity Theatre Company, Joan Lipkin, Artistic Director. Lipkin produced intimacies almost twenty years ago as part of her company’s ground breaking Alternate Currents / Direct Current Series. Tickets are available at the door. All seating is general admission. Audience members may choose to pay between $10-25 to see the show and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. This event is co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis, Doorways Interfaith AIDS Housing Program, Saint Louis Effort for AIDS, Food Outreach and Project ARK. All of these organizations will have tables with information at the event and audiences are encouraged to come early to explore the services they offer as well as volunteer opportunities. Additionally, the Gateway Men’s Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Carter, will open the show. “I am delighted to produce the St. Louis leg of the 20th anniversary of intimacies as part of That Uppity Theatre Company’s 20th anniversary as well. Michael Kearns is one of the most significant theatre artists of our time and it is wonderful that the chorus and many of the AIDS service organizations in St. Louis are working together to offer the community an optimal experience for this important event,” Lipkin said. In 1989, intimacies , Kearns’ solo performance piece in which he plays six wildly divergent characters who are urgently affected by HIV/AIDS was a landmark theatrical event. “By Aristotle’s standards, AIDS is to classical tragedy what nuclear warheads are to skeet-shooting,” wrote a critic from the LA Weekly, “an unwieldy subject that has beggared the best-intended of imaginations and generated a whole genre of trivializing, tear-jerking stage melodramas. Not so with this accomplished evening of AIDS portraits by actor/writer Michael Kearns. Kearns’ carefully observed monologues achieve a balance of sympathy (without manipulating sentiment), humor and quiet heroism that communicates its personal struggles without losing sense of the larger social and political qualifiers.” Michael Kearns’ new book: The Drama of AIDS: My Lasting Connections with Two Plays that Survived the Plague is his sixth book from Heinemann. The Drama of AIDS , with a foreword by Tim Miller, is a memoir that chronicles Kearns’ impassioned connections to Robert Chesley’s Jerker and James Carroll Pickett’s Dream Man . Books will be available for sale at the performance at MCCGSL. For more than three decades, Michael Kearns has been a fixture in the world of art and politics. His prodigious AIDS-related work as an artist- activist is unparalleled. Kearns came out as Hollywood’s first openly gay actor in the mid-seventies, followed by a public stance about his positive HIV-status, which he revealed on Entertainment Tonight in 1991. In addition to issues surrounding HIV/AIDS, homophobia, and the LGBT agenda, Kearns has devoted himself to fundraising and creating art that addresses addiction, homelessness, and mental illness. Beginning in the early eighties, Kearns’ outpourings chronicling the HIV/AIDS crisis have never abated, generating a virtual library of material. Co- founder and Artistic Director of Artists Confronting AIDS (1984—1994), his early leadership instincts also resulted in the Southland Theatre Artists Goodwill event, an annual AIDS fundraiser that recently celebrated its 25th year. His solo theatre pieces depicting the plague, beginning in 1989 with intimacies, have been performed nationally and abroad. Other theatrical work, written and performed by Kearns, includes more intimacies , Rock , Make Love Not War , Attachments , Complications and Going In: Once Upon A Time In South Africa . He has also written numerous full-length produced plays ( Who’s Afraid of Edward Albee? , Myron , and off ) in addition to five theatre books that include T-Cells & Sympathy and Acting = Life . While maintaining a mainstream television and film career, appearing in a number of plotlines depicting HIV/AIDS ( Life Goes On , Beverly Hills 90210 , A Mother’s Prayer , A River Made To Drown In ), Kearns also co-wrote the indie film, Nine Lives, in which he also appears. He lives in Los Angeles with his daughter, Tia, a fifteen-year old who attends the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. Confessions of a Purple Dinosaur. Journal of Medical Humanities, Vol. 19, Nos, 2/3, 1998 Michael Kearns I stood before a group of predominately gay, white men, self-identified artists who were scared, angered, shocked, determined, frustrated, con- fused. "We must do something," I insisted. "We must act." Michael Keams © 1998 Human Sciences Press, Inc. 222 Kearns The year was 1984 when the plague was fresh. There was a charged passion pulsating in the room; we were certain our efforts—as writers, ac- tors, directors, producers, designers—could make a difference. In spite of their fortudinous ferocity, most of the men in that room have since died of AIDS. Artists Confronting AIDS, an organization dedicated to demystifying AIDS through artistic expression, was birthed in that meeting room. We would educate as well as entertain; we would provide those in mourning with sanctuary for their grief. We even dared, in our heartfelt naivete, to suggest we just might "heal." Ha, ha, ha. The creation of Artists Confronting AIDS (which I accomplished with my now-deceased comrade, James Carroll Pickett) was destined, consider- ing my theatrical track record. I credit playwright Tom Eyen (who died of AIDS) for casting me in "The Dirtiest Show In Town," my official Los Angeles.

An intimate event in anticipation of World AIDS Day 2009. Limited Engagement/Limited Seats/Unlimited Ferocity. 20 years ago, Michael Kearns wrote and first performed the landmark theatrical piece: intimacies . A panoply of characters who speak with abandon, intimacies is theatre that promises to rock you. Meet Fernando, a macho flamenco dancer; Big Red, a black female street hooker; Patrick, a Hollywood pretty boy; Phoenix, a homeless man living under the freeway; Marilyn as is Monroe; Father Anthony, a Catholic priest who confesses and then some. Kearns premiered intimacies to unanimous critical acclaim. “By Aristotle’s standards, AIDS is to classical tragedy what nuclear warheads are to skeet-shooting,” wrote the LA WEEKLY, “an unwieldy subject that has beggared the best-intended of imaginations and generated a whole genre of trivializing, tear-jerking stage melodramas. Not so with this accomplished evening of AIDS portraits by actor/writer Michael Kearns. Kearns’ carefully observed monologues achieve a balance of sympathy (without manipulating sentiment), humor and quiet heroism that communicates its personal struggles without losing sense of the larger social and political qualifiers.” “The lower case lettering on intimacies is not an affectation. It’s a signal, like a tap on a window pane, that the lives dramatized here are uncomfortably private matters. You watch these characters like a voyeur who comes away not sullied but purified…Kearns’ only props are a stool and a red scarf. His vocal dexterity and varied personas don’t rely on costume changes. The austerity of pain, you might call it…The opening character monologue about a Mexican flamenco dancer, a man conditioned to conquer the ladies but who discovers he’s gay, is devastating in its erotic squalor.” LOS ANGELES TIMES “In a tour de force impersonation, Kearns is Marilyn Monroe, who compares the lies she was forced to embody with the hypocrisy and homophobia that infected Hudson’s life and career.” CHICAGO READER. “Perfect Patrick from West Hollywood, is a morbidly self-absorbed loner who insists he’s simply too gorgeous to be dying.” EDGE MAGAZINE. “Father Anthony provides a scathing attack on the Catholic church’s hypocritical and murderous policies regarding the epidemic.” SAN DIEGO UPDATE. “With a simple change of light and an adjustment of the red scarf, Kearns becomes Big Red, a female prostitute. Big Red has no anger, looking back on her life as if reading a road map. Her uncle abused her. Her mother permitted it. That’s life. She’s a pragmatist. What kind of world, she wonders, does not punish a mother like her own, yet allows an innocent child to get such a disease? No matter. Big Red must go on.” DAILY VARIETY. “Phoenix, a stoic ex-con who discovers life and love even on the eve of his death. Behind the different faces, Kearns demonstrates that the real tragedy of AIDS is not a particular lifestyle, set of values or beliefs, but rather a simple indifference to the fundamental humanity implicit in the suffering around us.” LA WEEKLY For more than three decades, Michael Kearns has been a fixture in the world of art and politics. His prodigious AIDS-related work as an artist-activist is unparalleled. Beginning in the early eighties, Kearns’ outpourings chronicling the HIV/AIDS crisis have never abated, generating a virtual library of material.

While maintaining a mainstream television and film career, appearing in a number of plotlines depicting HIV/AIDS (Life Goes On, Beverly Hills 90210, A Mother’s Prayer, A River Made To Drown In), Kearns also co-wrote the indie Nine Lives in which he also appears. The recipient of numerous artistic and humanitarian awards, Kearns lives in Los Angeles with his fifteen-year old daughter, Tia. His most recent work, Going In: Once Upon A Time In South Africa, is a spoken memoir that also features the photography of Tia Kearns. Going In was recently produced by the City of West Hollywood, Spoken Interludes and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

In the fall of 2009, his newest book, The Drama of AIDS, My Lasting Connections With Two Plays That Survived the Plague, chronicles his artistic connections, spanning more than twenty years with Jerker and Dream Man.
