7/10/24 Queer Voices - Paul Whitehead, Al Green and Tyce Green

Send us Fan MailWhat does it mean to explore gender fluidity through performance? Join us as we unpack this and more in our enlightening chat with Paul Whitehead, the creative force behind his drag queen persona, Tricia Van Cleef. Inspired by the likes of David Bowie and Mick Jagger, Paul navigates the duality of his identity and the transformative power of self-expression. He opens up about how Tricia’s playful energy contrasts with his more intellectual and surrealistic art and shares candidly about the social challenges and triumphs he has faced.Next, we shine a spotlight on Houston’s bustling entertainment scene, packed with events that cater to all tastes. There's excitement around every corner, from Tamarie Cooper's musical comedy show to the iconic Disney's The Lion King and the gripping mystery of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. We also highlight important community gatherings, such as the Trans Men Empowerment fundraiser, the Trans and Gender Queer Social, and the celebration of International Non-Binary People's Day on July 14th. To add to the richness, Congressman Al Green joins us, discussing his advocacy work for the LGBTQIA community and sharing his personal journey into politics. He reflects on standing up for individual rights and his own experiences of regret and redemption.Finally, immerse yourself in heartfelt storytelling and advocacy with Houston-raised Tyce Green (no relation to Al), a versatile artist and founder of the non-profit performance group called Houston Broadway Theater, as he shares his passion for performing and producing. The company will produce Next to Normal at the Hobby Center for one weekend only, starting on July 26th.
