The Wilma Theater Welcomes ‘Can I Be Frank’ by Morgan Bassichis
October 25 @ 8:00 pm - October 26 @ 10:00 pm
The Wilma Theater
265 S Broad Street
Philadelphia,PA19107United States
In a desperate attempt to prove they can think about someone other than themself, Morgan Bassichis revisits queer comedian, musician, and performance artist Frank Maya’s 1987 show, Frank Maya Talks. Maya was among the “first out gay comedians on network television” and on the precipice of mainstream success before his death from AIDS-related complications in 1995. This new “solo” performance humbly attempts to ensure Maya’s legacy is no longer overlooked while also resolving the bottomless queer search for laughter in times of crisis and for fame and father figures and intense attachment dynamics no matter how fleeting.
The performance will be shown on October 25th and October 26th, both at 8 P.M. For more information regarding tickets and the performance, visit the Wilma Theater web link.
