Homo-schooled

Not only were many of us gay boys bullied in school, but we were also forced to suffer through courses with no relevance to our soon-to-be fabulous lives: algebra, auto mechanics, and (the mind-numbingly dull straight version of) sex ed. Luckily, Gay 101: A Primer, written and performed by Sirius OutQ’s Frank DeCaro, gives those of us who weren’t homo-schooled a chance to earn our G.E.D. (Gay Equivalency Diploma).

Earlier this week, as part of the 19th Annual Dixon Place Hot! Festival NYC, the flamboyant former film critic for The Daily Show shed some lavender light on seminal moments in queer TV, film and pop music from the past century.

My Accidental Appearance on Radio Free Key West

A quick stop for java landed me six minutes on Key West Internet radio and TV morning show. (Warning: Jump to minute 30 to see me. Other than plugging Eddie's Comedy Boot Camp, I don't do much but scratch mosquito bites.)

Christopher Sieber in The Advocate: The Kid Is All Right

The versatile leading man opens up on playing Dan Savage in the new stage musical The Kid, his plans on parenthood, and why he bristles at the “openly gay” modifier.  




CHRISTOPHER SIEBER MAIN X390 (COURTESY) | ADVOCATE.COM

Christopher Sieber is a brat. At least that’s what the two-time Tony nominee (Spamalot, Shrek) and former Advocate cover boy says about himself when he sits down to discuss his latest role as sex columnist Dan Savage in the new off-Broadway musical The Kid. Then a winsome smile flashes across the actor’s photogenic face, soon followed by a throaty eruption of infectious laughter. It’s impossible to take him seriously.

Sieber, on a break from a late-morning rehearsal, arrives enthusiastic — perhaps even giddy — to discuss the show (currently being performed through May 29 at the New Group at Theater Row). The first musical produced by the New Group since its smash hit Avenue Q seven years ago, the play has already won the 2009 BMI Foundation Jerry Bock Award for Excellence in Musical Theater. Based on Savage’s best-selling memoir, The Kid: What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant, with book by Michael Zam, music by Andy Monroe, and lyrics by Jack Lechner, examines the legal and emotional complexities of adoption as seen through the eyes of a same-sex couple.

The 6-foot 3-inch leading man is definitely not a brat, but with his tousled mop of hair and youthful outfit of sneakers, cargo shorts, and a faded shirt, Sieber does exude the boyish charm that makes him so endearing in the part.
