ImageThe Kitchen Theatre Company’s KITCHEN COUNTER CULTURE series, featuring extraordinary solo performances by guest artists from around the country, concludes in April with internationally acclaimed solo performer Tim Miller. He will be performing his newest piece, LAY OF THE LAND, for three performances only: April 1, 2, & 3 (see calendar below).

LAY OF THE LAND is Miller's saucy, sharp-knifed look at the State of the Union during a time of trial. Careening from his sexy on-the-road misadventures, to Marriage Equality street protests, to the electoral assaults on gay folks all over the country, LAY OF THE LAND subversively exposes the truths of gay life as one of being on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu.

The newest of Miller's performances, LAY OF THE LAND is a fierce and funny examination of citizenship and a "lay" in all kinds of ways: a sex-assignation, a queer citizenship map, and, of course, a narrative ballad with a recurrent refrain (Miller's favorite way-down-the-list definition for "lay")! It is also an uncensored, no-holds-barred performance that includes frank language and nudity.

In addition to his Kitchen Theatre performances,  Miller will be giving a workshop on solo performance at Cornell's Schwartz Center on Friday, April 2nd from 12:20 to 2:15pm.

Tim Miller is an internationally acclaimed solo performer. Hailed for its humor and passion, Miller's performance works have delighted and emboldened audiences all over the world at such prestigious venues as Yale Repertory Theatre, the London Institute of Contemporary Art, the Walker Art Center, Actors Theatre of Louisville and the Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave Festival. He is the author of the books SHIRTS & SKIN, BODY BLOWS, and 1001 BEDS, an anthology of his performances and essays which won the 2007 Lambda Literary Award for best book in Drama-Theatre. Miller has taught performance at UCLA, NYU and the Claremont School of Theology. He is a co-founder of two of the most influential performance spaces in the United States: Performance Space 122 on Manhattan's Lower East Side and Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica, CA.
