Michael's #1 Fan

Robert (Brian Townes), a shaken and shattered gay man on the verge of suicide, takes us on a strange journey so we can understand how he reached such a precarious place. Along the way we meet his best friend Lily (Jessica Faller); his adulterous brother Hank (Michael Ciminera) who happens to be Lily’s fiance; and his frail, peculiar sister Lee (Kristi Caplinger). Robert seeks the advice of: his long dead Aunt Bonnie (Jeanine Tolve); Kristi (Jami Coogan), the town gossip and omnipresent know-it-all, Don (Christian Macchio), an ace reporter who Robert is having a fling with and, finally, octogenarian serial killer Monstrous Molly (Greta Thyssen). He also gleans guidance from Hollywood star-wannabe, Michael Sarrazin.

Along Robert’s voyage of self-discovery, he unearths startling truths and revelations about his lineage and experiences unthinkable betrayals within his trusted inner circle.

MICHAEL’s #1 FAN marked the group’s return and bowed at the PC2 in November of 2000. The Village Voice called it: "funny and affectionate".
