>                    PQT ANNOUNCES 1996 PRIDE WEEK PRODUCTION
> 
> Pittsburgh Queer Theater announces the Pittsburgh premiere of Keith Curran's
> "The Stand-In", presented as part of Pittsburgh's Lesbian and Gay Pride Week
> '96.  PQT's Managing Director Debby Hollingshead: "Pittsburgh Queer Theater
> began with Pride Week '91 and we are especially pleased to be
beginning our 5th
> season with Mr. Curran's outrageous satire of Hollywood and the entertainment
> industry.  We are only the third company in the country to present "The
> Stand-In", after productions in New York and Los Angeles.  Mr. Curran
has just
> finished the screenplay of "The Stand-In" for Mirimax films with Marisa Tomei
> set to star.  In addition to his other plays, "Walking the Dead", "Dalton's
> Back" and "Church of the Sole Survivor", Curran is also in the midst of
> completing the teleplay for Showtime's production of "Conduct
Unbecoming", the
> late Randy Shilts' bestselling book about the history of gays in the
> military. With its message of pride and extraordinary humor, "The
Stand-In" is
> a perfect compliment to Pittsburgh Pride Week."
> 
> The production of "The Stand-In" will be directed by PQT Artistic
Director Ted
> Hoover and features a cast of 12.  Set in Hollywood, "The Stand-In" is the
> story of Lester Perry, a "hot soap stud making the leap to cable TV movies."
> Lester's vehicle is "You're Out--The Gilbert Feldstein Story" about a gay,
> Jewish umpire and professional tango dancer who came out during the
1985 World
> Series.  Lester's story begins to mirror Gilbert's as the actor confronts his
> own sexuality and the crazy movie and TV people who surround him.
