GALHA Meeting-"Jesus has two Daddies". Peterson Toscano. Friday September 14th.

From: Derek L.
Sent on: Monday, September 3, 2012, 9:28 AM

 

EARLY BOOKING RECCOMMENDED

 

Toscano uses brilliant comedy and hard won insight to interweave his long journey out of the closet and through years of "ex gay therapy".

Peterson is a US-based theatrical performance activist using comedy and storytelling to address social justice concerns and queer issues. After spending 17 years and over $30,000 on three continents attempting (and failing) to change his gay orientation, he has emerged as a queer cheeky voice of reason in the midst of the culture war.

In his newest play, "Jesus Had Two Daddies," Peterson revisits his years of trying desperately to repress his gay orientation in hopes of craving Jesus exclusively. He also hilariously deconstructs traditional views of the Bible and tells pretty much every bloody genital Bible story that exists.

An American Quaker, Peterson has performed often in the UK including at the 2008 Lambeth Conference, Cambridge University, the European Forum for Lesbian and Gay Christians, and the Greenbelt Festival. He has been featured in the Guardian, BBC Radio, the Times of London, The Independent, and the Church Times, and he helped produce and appears in the recent documentary film, "This is What Love in Action Looks Like." Peterson lives in Pennsylvania Amish Country with his husband, the South African memoirist, Glen Retief.
