YOU BETTER CALL YOUR MOTHER
Actor/chef Mitchell Anderson (’83) spent his early adulthood trying to live partially in and out of the Hollywood closet. His spontaneous decision to “come out” at the 1996 GLAAD Media Awards changed his life. Told in a series of monologues with songs, YOU BETTER CALL YOUR MOTHER, is the story of how he went from the closet to the kitchen and wound up finding happiness, true love, and respect along the way.
