By: James T Harding Mar. 01, 2012
Alive Theatre presents MALE MATRIARCH, written by and Starring Amir Levi and directed by Shauna Horn on Tues, March 6 & Wed, March 7 at 8pm at the Long Beach Playhouse Studio Theatre. On Tuesday, March 6 there will be an AFTER SHOW TALKBACK with special guest, Porter Gilberg from The Gay and Lesbian Center of Greater Long Beach.
About the show: "Male Matriarch – the autobiographical story of its star and creator Amir Levi – challenges postmodern gay identity through his cultural desire to create a nuclear family based on traditional values. Strongly influenced by the love stories of his mother and grandmother, Amir shares his Builla’s rhythm, his mother’s taste in curly-haired men, and thinks he’s destined to be the next matriarch of his Mexican Jewish American family. When his first relationship crumbles, dashing his boyhood dreams, he quickly finds that the fairy tale courtships of his beloved matriarchs seem nowhere to be found."
