Written and performed by Estrada, “A Lullaby for Ryan” chronicled the last quarter century of the AIDS epidemic in the United States with stories of courage, strength and human triumph. A reception was held in the theatre lobby after the show where the television actor met patrons and signed autographs.
The show originally premiered at the Metropolitan Community Church of Omaha in conjunction with the Omaha AIDS Quilt Display in December 2007.
“I have been hearing rave reviews from everyone who attended. We all appreciated the humor, compassion, and truthful way in which Jade portrayed many facets of this cause. We were all laughing with him and at ourselves and we left feeling bonded by the experience,”
“In his performance, history and humor meld together to create a rich, insightful, and unforgettable experience. His dedication to each character made it easy for the audience to sympathize with some of the real faces behind HIV/AIDS, while allowing us to be carried away by laughter at just the right times. We admire his ability to tap into the human side of HIV and celebrate the stories of strength and courage that inspire us all,” said Tasha LeClair, Program Associate of YAP.
