WILD & PRECIOUS is docudrama/theatrical memoir celebrating our 50 Years of Social Change:  Gay Liberation/ integration through one man’s story.  From the moment the curtain goes up until the final bow the audience is riveted by Steve Cadwell’s tale: you’ll cherish the little boy playing with dolls; identify with the adolescent challenges of discovering his sexuality; and witness first-hand the gay experience of the past 60 years: Stonewall; disco; AIDS; freedom to marry; and more are put in a context that’s made real by Cadwell’s vulnerability, authenticity and integrity. This well-tuned roller coaster shoots its riders through tumults, joys, tears, and celebration. Dare to be different!

WILD & PRECIOUS is a story of change for the BETTER!  This is HIS story about what it means to be a man in our one wild and precious life — one man’s version of our Social Change History: Gay Liberation  and the universal quest for meaning.

“I am blown away at your performance. I was stunned by the intensity of your words, stories, music, singing, movement, affect and effect of all of you. A Masterpiece: I can’t stop thinking about the whole performance and I know that is a powerful sign of a good performance and intense story. Thank you for being you and sharing your story. You are so brave. You are a role model for us all to be more of who we are. We have to continue to GET OUT no matter what that means. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!”– Bob Haas, Psychotherapist, Boston, MA

Wild and Precious is much more than a sentimental journey down a memory lane of pain and sadness […] His takeaway message: Inner peace comes of accepting our own differences, and a life of integrity comes from integrating all our parts..”–John-Manuel Andriote, The Huffington Post
