Stevie Jay's experience with solo performance began in high school when he experimented in his drama class, combining monologues, music, poetry, and creative movement into cohesive, hour-long theatrical presentations. http://www.steviejay3.com/videos.php He continued his training in New York City at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where he also received private coaching from Sandra Seacat. Monologue writing has always been his mainstay, and in 1998, Stevie was invited to create a full-length, one-man play for the Live arts Performance Center in Charlottesville, Virginia, (home of Monticello, The University of Virginia, and the ghost of Thomas Jefferson) giving birth to his critically-acclaimed, multi-chakra extravaganza: "Life Love Sex Death. . .and other works in progress." http://www.steviejay3.com/pr-cville2.php This work was developed and honed over a period of 5 years in Charlottesville, showcased twice at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and enjoyed a month-long engagement at the Finborough Theatre for its London debut. http://www.steviejay3.com/pi-timeout.php The show continues to thrive and shift, and is currently touring progressive venues and universities throughout the United States and abroad. http://www.indiana.edu/~kisiss/sexnews2april1105.php Stevie Jay is also a photographer, watercolorist, songwriter, arranger, producer, and editor, and serves as a consultant for fellow artists, writers, musicians, and solo performers.

Life Love Sex Death And Other Works In ProgressLife Love Sex Death And Other Works In Progress
Synopsis:
Exploding with hilarious monologues, soulful skits, embarrassing observations, and intermittent go-go dancing, Stevie Jay takes audiences on a wild journey into the human psyche, painting a picture of Real Life on Earth with personal, uncensored stories about relationships, sex, working out at the gym, working out sexual relationships at the gym--and the endless struggle to remain spiritually oriented and irresistibly gorgeous at all times. In a genre akin to the works of Lily Tomlin, Spalding Gray, Lenny Bruce, and Margaret Cho, Stevie Jay utilizes humor to shed light on cultural myths, societal dictates, ancestral taboos, and a multitude of self-defeating conventions and traditions. ("Stevie Jay presents an evening of dangerous hilarity!" -Ray Faiola, CBS, New York) The show is particularly resonant with the emotional climate of our times, as it explores the destructiveness of labels, dualistic thinking, separatism, love and death, obsessions with fitness, the self-help movement, the thrills and horrors of intimacy, and the need for open-heartedness in an increasingly technological world. The play also features a powerful relationship segment in which the gender of the partner is never revealed; audience members are free to personalize the experience without having to transpose. Running time: 100 minutes
