Paul for Pete: Politics. Theatre. Life. One Man’s Adventures (or, How I Became a Septuagenarian Fanboy)

Paul for Pete recounts the fourteen months I spent volunteering for Pete Buttigieg’s campaign for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination, first as a Grassroots Investment Team member and Digital Investment Captain, and ultimately as a member of Pete’s Arts Policy Advisory Committee. Paul for Pete is also about my career as a theatre director, administrator, and teacher, my work on plays by Shakespeare, my life as an openly gay man during the last part of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st century, and my long-term relationship with actor-director James Edmondson. Pete is the anchor of my story . . .  the planet, if you will; but there are many satellites, sidebars, off-ramps and cloverleafs on what was for me a unique, inspiring, and life-changing journey.
