and storytelling pieces! |

How the Indians Discovered Columbus
|
| This original interactive monolog celebrates
the ancient Tainos of the Caribbean and a 21st Century man
who makes a positive change in spite of himself. Peterson
Toscano recounts the tale of Eliot Robinson’s
unexpected trip to a time and place where he is called upon
to speak truth in the face of a powerful oppressor,
Christopher Columbus and his fighting men. Entertaining,
enlightening and educational, ‘How the Indians
Discovered Columbus' reminds us that in our world a little
voice and the weapon of our humanity can make a huge
difference. (75 minutes) |

Doin' Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House;
How I Survived the Ex-Gay Movement!
|
Through five characters, Peterson Toscano
takes you on a tour of the Homo No Mo Halfway House, a
12-Step Christian program in Memphis, TN that attempts to
save men from the snares of homosexuality through bizarre
rules, a masculine resuscitation regime and brain numbing
reconditioning.
Peterson weaves together humor, program jargon and
outrageous eye witness accounts to form a piece that is
hilarious, poignant and inspirational. From the daily rap
sessions on appropriate male dress to the surreal Family and
Friends Weekend, prepare yourself for a rocky and raucous
tour of the Homo No Mo Halfway House, and find out for
yourself if our hero comes OUT alive! (60 minutes) |

Legion!
|
| Based on the dramatic New Testament story of
a man possessed by thousands of demons that Jesus casts into
a herd of pigs, Peterson Toscano presents a stirring
interactive monolog that explores the circumstances and
choices that drive a small boy to escape to the dreaded
tombs to grow up to become the most feared person in town
who ultimately encounters Jesus and a new life. (25
minutes) |
| |
The Golden Apple & the Golden Urn
|
| As Nosretep, the Egyptian guardian of
history, Peterson Toscano introduces his audience to the
players and dramatic events of the Trojan War. From the
moment that Iris, the goddess of discord, tosses in the
Golden Apple inscribed with the words "For the Fairest" to
the colossal conflict that erupts over the world's most
beautiful woman, Nosretep recreates Homer's "Iliad" in an
engaging manner filled with contemporary insight and humor.
