This blue vaudevillian poem in three parts unleashes the vitriol of four dead, under-appreciated gay entertainers of 1970s.  Featuring veteran performers FRANC BALITON, PATRICK KENNELLY, MICHAEL MORRISSEY, and JOE SEELY, with costumes by sculptor CURT LEMIEUX, sound accompaniment by COREY FOGEL (riffing on an original score by JASMINE ORPILLA), and text and direction by ASHER HARTMAN, THE ALL STARS OF NONVIOLET COMMUNICATION is a compact exploration of the brutality of language, the grief from which comedy emerges, and the ways in which language empties out into the passage from life to death.  Although brief, the work is written in a dense amalgam of poetic speech, one-liners, movement, and sound with plenty of bite and aftertaste.

In conjunction with 18th Street Art Center ART NIGHT.
