    The Upstart Performing Ensemble's annual Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary with three productions over three consecutive weekends.*

    About Quilt, A Musical Celebration:
    Few who have seen the NAMES project AIDS Memorial Quilt can ever forget the experience or the powerful emotions evoked by this patchwork of panels celebrating the memory or a friend or family member who has died of this terrible scourge. The musical affirmation of life focuses on the universality of the AIDS epidemic with compassion, humor and anger. The series of stories for, from and about the Quilt is threaded together by a volunteer's experience while making a panel in memory of a friend. In monologues and songs that bring the audience through the full range of emotions, this play commemorates the victims and survivors as well as those left behind. This musical is a powerful and thought-provoking show that will leave you smiling with a lump in your throat.

    *Upstart is the brainchild of Tony Babin, a passionate, warm-hearted actor, director, producer and sometime drag queen. Tony left us very suddenly on December 9, 2009; the cast and crew of this year's Festival has rallied and brings you these shows in his memory.
