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".
