BWW Interviews: Del Shores joins us in Denver for the SORDID LIVES premiere and his Master Class!

Yes. I was there in 2009 for the Matthew Shephard Foundation dinner. I was honored with an award - Making A Difference Award. It was a wonderful night.

(here's a link about it: http://www.mydigitalpublication.com/display_article.php?id=235654) It's beautiful. I have a wonderful fan base there and am so happy grateful to Dale Haltom and Illumination Theatre for making a return visit possible! Hope to meet many of my fans at opening night of Sordid Lives on July 26th. I love directing actors. In the last few years, I have started expanding my directing into workshops for actors who truly want to grow and learn. My mom was a high school drama teacher and teaching makes me very happy. My workshops are nurturing. I believe in actors, their talent and celebrate that. "Fun" is the goal whiling learning and growing. Well, first of all, let's be honest. It has big Texas hair, outlandish situations, a hot gay boy, Leslie Jordan in drag, Delta Burke AND Olivia Newton-John. But I honestly feel that the reason it became such a crazy cult phenomenon in the gay community and beyond is that not only is it funny, but people really relate to the characters and feel safe to share it outside the gay community. I can't tell you how many times someone has told me, "Sissy is my aunt or Latrell is my mother or Ty is me". Kt's not just a gay film/play -- it's a twisted family film of sorts about love and acceptance. I never dreamed it would have the impact it has, but am deeply grateful.

Yes. It is suggested all the time. Some day! Amazing. Perfect. A stellar cast and everybody involved worked for the passion of the piece. We just premiere at Outfest LA to huge response and have been invited to screen in 18 festivals so far. This one is special and I'm so happy to share this story right now. So many kids are still sitting in pews being told they are not worthy of God's love. Sissies will show them they are not alone and I hope that healing will follow. I'd either be teaching, doing hair in a small Texas salon where hair is not teased, it is TERRORIZED -- or I wouldn't mind be a massage therapist for really hot men.

I am. I have a TV show in development. I have many film festivals to attend with Sissies. I have a new movie called "The Happy Holloways" which is a mockumentary set in the gospel singing world. I have a play spinning in my head called "This Side of Crazy" and I continue to do stand up, having just booked performing on a ten day cruise to Venice, Rome, Mykonos and five other destinations. My life is not so bad. Thanks for the time, enjoyed this.
