Julian Eltinge: 20’s-late 30’s, “Eltinge, The American Star.” An artiste. A consummate craftsman onstage who lives a life of learned cautiousness off. Lyric Bari-tenor with a softer quality

OTHER
At the turn of the 20th century, two premier celebrities beard convention with an act of defiance. As stars Eva Tanguay and Julian Eltinge straddle their on- and off-stage personas, their latest engagement satirizes gender, respectability, and marriage. Is it a publicity stunt or something more personal? Acclaimed local playwright Jeffrey Neuman infuses vaudeville song and show into a surprisingly timely story that explores the explosive crossroads of gender, fame, sexuality, and power.
