What do Sappho, Michelangelo, Oscar, Gertrude, Sylvia and Ellen all have in

common? They're all coming to Ball State University. Sort of.

     Vicarious Productions and Spectrum will present "ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 1," a solo musical written and performed by Jade Esteban Estrada.

     The show is set for 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 16 at Cardinal Hall.

     In the show, Estrada portrays Sappho, Michelangelo, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Rivera and Ellen DeGeneres.

     Formally the choreographer to television personality Charo and a scratch vocalist for the Back Street Boys, Estrada came to international attention when Out Magazine christened him, "the first gay Latin star" in 2000. Estrada released his debut CD “Angel” (Vicarious) in 2001.
