Theatrical Performance Artist Peterson Toscano Presents Everything Is Connected: An Afternoon of Stories, Most Weird, Many True

Experience the storytelling craft of theatrical performance artist Peterson Toscano, who will present Everything is Connected: An Afternoon of Stories, Most Weird, Many True, where he shares three completely different stories that appear to have nothing to do with each other. But with a simple theatrical move, he connects them all together.

See Peterson morph into multiple comic characters as he travels to the past and the future. It is weird, wonderful, and surprisingly inspirational.

Peterson Toscano spent 17 years and more $30,000 on three continents attempting to “de-gay” himself through gay conversion therapy. After coming out, 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. Toscano is also a recognized scholar who highlights gender non-conforming people in the Bible. He presented Transfigurations–Transgressing Gender in the Bible at academic conferences, seminaries, universities, places of worship and drag bars.

For 20 years, Toscano has connected with North American, European and African audiences through his one-person comedies, shape-shifting storytelling, and lively lectures. His plays and talks humorously explored the serious topics of LGBTQ issues, sexism, racism, privilege, gender and justice. Toscano, a Quaker, gardener and lover of all foods, lives in Sunbury, PA, with his husband, the writer Glen Retief.
