About Stevie Jay and ?Life Love Sex Death?and other works in progress? (A multi-chakra extravaganza) Stevie Jay takes audiences on a trip into the human psyche, painting a picture of Real Life on Earth with personal, uncensored stories about relationships, sex, working out at the gym, working out sexual relationships at the gym?and the endless struggle to remain spiritually-oriented and irresistibly-gorgeous at all times.
Through a series of revelatory monologues, soulful skits, embarrassing observations, and intermittent go-go dancing, Stevie explores the thrills and horrors of intimacy, sexual labels, identity issues, and the need for an open heart and a sense of humor in our technologically-driven world.The play also features an inclusive romance segment in which the?gender of the beloved is never mentioned; audience members are free to personalize the experience for themselves.
Stevie originally gave birth to ?Life Love Sex Death?and other works in progress? at Live Arts more than a decade ago. The play was presented twice at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which resulted in a 4-week London debut with rave reviews. (http://steviejay3.com/p-llsd_rev.htm). Stevie went on to present his work at colleges and progressive venues throughout the country, drawing large and diverse audiences, and sparking lively discussions (and emotions).
In 2008, ?Life Love Sex Death?and other works in progress? was chosen as the kick-off program for a week-long event at Yale University (?Sex Week at Yale?) and then debuted in San Francisco for a four-night, full-house run. The show was subsequently chosen as the opening play for the 2009-10 Season of Rhode Island?s prestigious ?Perishable Theatre,? and that same year, Stevie launched a new work in progress, entitled: ?Falling Through The Cracks:::a homeopathic remedy for the new millennium?in one dose,? which takes place entirely in Charlottesville on a single night.
In 2011, Stevie received a rare endorsement from The Kinsey Institute for Sex, Gender and Reproduction, describing his show as ?never more relevant than it is now,? and ?a great vehicle for helping mainstream audiences understand the wide spectrum of sexuality and relationships.?
Most recently, Stevie?s work received critical acclaim when he performed at Washington DC?s Capital Fringe Festival, and theater reviewers praised the play?s central theme of love and transcendence: ?Stevie Jay hits an elusive target?breaking down the usual barriers and connecting. I thought he was really smart about teasing sexuality issues into view and then being playfully resistant about the way we get hung up on labels. We rehash this publicly all the time, yet he made it fresh.? (Nelson Pressley, The Washington Post, Editors? Pick)
It?s been two years since Stevie has performed in town, and we?re all looking forward to an exciting event. At this point, the multi-chakra extravaganza is considered ?a Charlottesville rite of passage.?
