MICHAEL RIDER presents the story of his odyssey from the family farm in Central Pennsylvania to the metropolis of New York City. "This ‘Ol House: Stories of a City Bear, Country Queen" is a collection of stories and songs detailing Rider's journey of discovery from an awkward, out-of-place, gay boy in the country to an out, openly fabulous queen in the city. Rider shares his story through the songs of Stuart Hamblen, Jerry Herman, Henry Mancini, Stephen Sondheim, Jimmy Webb, and more!
**Originally performed at Chelsea Table + Stage on February 9, 2024, followed by two encore performances at Green Room 42 in May, the performance on November 3rd will benefit SAGE, the country’s largest and oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ older people.**
