Toscano Play
DU Pride, HIV/AIDS Awareness and the Center for Multicultural Excellence are sponsoring a free performance on Monday at 7 p.m. in Lindsay Auditorium of Peterson Toscano’s “Doin’ Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House: How I survived the Ex-Gay Movement.”
Through five characters, Toscano takes audiences on a tour of the Homo No Mo Halfway House, a 12-Step Christian program that attempts to save men from the snares of homosexuality through bizarre rules, a masculine resuscitation regime and brain numbing reconditioning.
Based on Toscano’s real life experience in various ex-gay ministries, he weaves together humor, program jargon and outrageous eyewitness accounts to form a piece that is hilarious, poignant and inspirational.
From the daily rap sessions on appropriate male dress to the surreal Family and Friends Weekend, prepare yourself for a rocky and raucous tour of the Homo No Mo Halfway House, and see for yourself if our hero comes out alive.
For more information about this event, contact Emily Hungerford at ehungerf@du.edu.
