Venue John H. Williams Theatre
Presenter Reaction Productions

Emmy Award-winning actor Leslie Jordan is best known for his recurring roles on TV’s Will & Grace and Boston Legal.
On Will & Grace, he played Karen’s nemesis, the snide, mincing and unconvincingly homophobic hanger-on Beverley Leslie. On Boston Legal, he was a sweet little serial killer represented by attorney Alan Shore and befriended by his secretary, played by Betty White.
My Trip Down the Pink Carpet is Jordan’s one-man show based on his memoir of the same name.
From “falling out of my mother’s womb and into her high heels” to having a crush on his high school’s quarterback to coming out as a gay man in Hollywood, it’s been quite a trip for this man from Chattanooga, Tennessee.

BLACK TUESDAY
Taking its title from the infamous day the stock market crashed in 1929, Black Tuesday employs happy tunes and buoyant movement to play off the underlying despair of the 1930s. Vintage recordings of once-popular songs frame Taylor’s quirky choreography.
GNAWA
Set to an evocative fusion of tranquil Spanish and North African melodies, Gnawa displays an array of intricate choreographic formations and deftly melds ballet movement with tribal dance motifs.
PETITE MORT
Provocatively intertwining choreography creates unusual shapes and innovative lifts in this demonstration of sensuality set to two of Mozart’s piano concertos.
