Since 2003, Peterson Toscano has put his quirky talent to use performing his original play, Doin’ Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House–How I Survived the Ex-Gay Movement. He has used it to tell his own story of attempted change and thereby reflect those of many others. He and his play served as an early focal point to draw out many who had survived their own experience with the ex-gay movement – not just clients but leaders as well – and help give them a voice.
Peterson announced today that he will officially retire his play in February, 2008. While he will be offering a high quality DVD for sale at some point, those who are determined to see it live better make plans.
Thanks Peterson for all that queer, quirky, Quaker, vegan energy and talent you have shared with so many, and good luck with your new efforts which we hope will certainly include new plays.
Thank you Dave. I will have the fall schedule up once I get back from the UK in September.
I have begun work on my next play, “Transfigurations,” and will most likely premiere it (or some version of it) in November.
Of course some of the characters from Homo No Mo will live on in some of my other plays (“Queer 101–Now I Know My gAy,B,C’s” & “The Re-Education of George W. Bush-No President Left Behind”). I recycle everything, including characters 🙂
