Out, loud and proud SA performance artist Jade Esteban Estrada is used to turning

heads. Most recently, he appeared in a pink feather boa to introduce Richard Lewis at the newly opened Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club. Estrada has written a solo musical comedy in observance of World AIDS Week, entitled, "A Lullaby for Ryan: The History of HIV/AIDS in America." In the play, Estrada channels characters such as Rock Hudson, Miss Protease Inhibitor 1996, "Boobs" (AKA the Bubonic Plague), and a mother of three named LaShonda to illustrate courageous and poignant stories of triumph.
