Straight is a hilarious and subversive excursion into the world of conversion therapy, where gays and lesbians are reputedly 'cured' of their homosexuality and made 'straight.' Join acclaimed writer/performer David Schmader as he plunges into the heart of this dangerous territory. Schmader, a gay man, pulls no punches with either the conversionists or the gay community in this one-man show -- attending sessions with a German psychoanalyst, going undercover at 'ex-gay' support groups, and engaging in an intensive crash course in Christian heterosexuality ... deep in the heart of Texas. Straight pulls no punches. Schmader deploys a wry honesty that spares neither Christian conversionists nor the unconverted in this uproarious take on sexual reprogramming. Blending an essayists insight with the spark of stand-up comedy, Schmader confronts difficult questions, rejects easy answers, and gets to the bottom of what it means to be 'straight.' David Schmader, fl. 2002

The theatre is a world of 'make believe' that can challenge, entertain, amuse and inform an audience. Capturing the hearts and minds of the audience is the role of the creative people who write, stage design, direct and perform. This series examines the jobs of the creative people behind theater productions and considers their processes. It explores the various aspects of the work of actors, directors, playwrights, designers, and technicians and discusses the ways in which they work individually and collaborate. These four programs take you behind the 'curtain' to introduce you to those who take theatre from 'the page to the stage.' A unique amalgam of 'dreamers and doers.' Award winning scenic designer John Lacovelli explains how a plays visual experience enhances the emotional impact of the production. Tony winning singer/actor Robert Goulet, who has starred in many musicals and straight plays on Broadway, and all media, reveals a compelling view of the difference of working in musicals as opposed to straight plays. You'll also hear from playwrights, directors and theatre critics including Tony Del Valle, Robert Benedetti and Glen Cassale as they discuss the 'extension of the fourth wall' and the collaborative effort that produces a play in the theatre.
