:: Buddy Starr’s PICTURES OF AN EXHIBITIONIST ::

Director/actor Paul Pearson returns to the club scene with a new theatrical floorshow:
Buddy Starr is returning for two nights to Lincoln in PICTURES OF AN EXHIBITIONIST. Actually, he has not really been away. Buddy is the character creation of local director and actor Paul Pearson, whose busy schedule in local theatre venues has prevented him from bringing Buddy back to Lincoln’s stages very often in the last few years.

Pearson was the creator of Buddy Starr’s Screaming Kupcakes, a mix of pop-music, camp, broad humor, and social satire where genders and genres bent in every possible way at every turn, unreeling as a kind of floorshow/performance art extravaganza. Locally they reached their peak when they performed for First Night ’91, appearing for four performances in the Johnny Carson Theatre. With this event Pearson creates many new routines, but also takes a look back at some of his favorites from a past spanning three decades.

Starring in the diverse cast with Buddy will be popular local actors Beth Muehling and Robie Hayak. They will be joined by featured performance artists and gender illusionists Freida Lae, Red Essence, Destiny, and Skylar. Actors Ward Lewis, Keith Potts and "Mr. Q 2003" Dan co-star. Pearson adds, "And, of course, there will be every diva’s number one accessory: a chorus boy or two!"
