Surprise Video of My One-Man Show’s Finale

To my surprise, a dear friend, Tami Pivnick, Dog Eats Hat Productions, made a video of the finale scene and song (“I Am What I Am”) from her front-row seat at “Growing Up Larry – The Gay Story Line,” the world premiere of my gay-life one-man show.

The show was presented by Sedona/Verde Valley PFLAG, February 9, 2015, at the Church of the Red Rocks, Sedona, Arizona.

Please enjoy this informal video.

After saying that my one-man show, “Growing Up Larry – Riding the Roller Coaster” (premiering Oct. 14, 7 pm, Stargate Theatre, West Sedona, 928-203-4499 for tickets) is about my 71-years-long life, I have been asked what are the specific major life issues dramatized.

They include:

  •  Accepting my parents’ roles in shaping my life.
  • Exploring my Jewish roots and path of universal spirituality.
  • Struggling to come to terms with my gay orientation – romancing, partnering, marrying, and divorcing women and men.
  • Getting three academic degrees, working three consecutive careers, and retiring twice.
  • Balancing my American and Japanese cultural sides.

This video of my singing “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” is from the preview performance of “Growing Up Larry – Riding the Roller Coaster,” my one-man show, Sedona, Sept. 30. I learned a lot from this performance and made changes in the script. The “revised” premiere of this show is October 14, 7:00 pm, at Stargate Theatre, 55 Shelby Drive, West Sedona.
