Billings the music is also composed by Alexandra Billings with arrangements
by Steve Schalchlin. Lyrics are by Chrisanne Blankenship Billings. The
show is directed and developed by Mary Beidler Gearen.
An autobiography in story and song, transgendered actress/singer Alexandra
Billings' tour-de-force is a hilarious, and sometimes harrowing, roller-coaster
journey through her complex life. From boyhood to womanhood, she paints
a Picasso-like portrait of herself through the eyes of those who knew
her best, and least. Not for the faint of heart, this ride takes you
from summer camping into the asphalt jungle and back alleys of Chicago
and its counter culture and phoenix-like rise through the air to New
York City and L.A.
Ms. Billings was nominated for a Los Angeles ADA Award for Best Musical/Best
Actress of the Year for her September 2006.
These performances are sponsored by the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall
of Fame, and Aids Assist, South Bend. There will be a Q & A on Saturday,
October 6th, after the show.
