Justin Vivian Bond Comes to Symphony Space, 9/14
By: Lauren Wolman
Symphony Space brings the Tony-nominated cabaret singer and author of Tango: My Childhood, Backwards and in High Heels, to the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater for a special evening of reading, music and performance hosted by writer and performer Mike Albo.
After years of weaving funny stories between songs onstage, Mx. Bond has written them down in a memoir, Tango. Raised in suburban Maryland, Justin is surprised when the bully next door wants to meet secretly, and they develop a sexual relationship fresh out of the Boy Scouts. Framed in the present, Mx. Bond discovers that this lover from childhood has been remanded into a mental institution, sending V in a journey back to childhood to address this childhood relationship. With simplicity, lots of humor, and compassion this daring literary debut conjures the drama of growing up queer/trans in America.Symphony Space is located at 2537 Broadway at 95th Street in Manhattan, NYC. Ticket prices for Justin Vivian Bond are $25 (members $21); 30 and under $15 . To learn more about this season's performers, visit http://www.symphonyspace.org or call 212.864.5400.
