US
a new performance by
TIM MILLER

Fast, funny and furious, Tim Miller's new show US ricochets between Miller's love affair since childhood with Broadway musicals to an exploration of home, exile and the injustices gay people face in the good ol' USA.

US is a hilarious and pissed-off exploration of these most American contradictions, as the piece careens from the 8 year old boy who did stripteases with the musical Gypsy on the record player, to memories of a ten year old's plan to flee to Canada to escape the war in Vietnam, to a tongue-in-cheek guide explaining how NOT to be angry, and a surreal wedding day tug-of-war at the edge of America as the Niagara Falls rushes between Tim's legs!

"Tim Miller sings that song of the self which interrogates, with explosive, exploding, subversive joy and freedom, the constitution and borderlines of selfhood. You think you don't need to hear such singing? You do! You must!" -Tony Kushner
