April 4, 2007 - New York, N.Y. - What do Sappho, Michelangelo, Oscar, Gertrude, Sylvia and Ellen all have in common? They're all coming to Ball State University - at the same time! Vicarious Productions and Spectrum are proud to announce the BSU debut performance of ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 1, a solo musical written and performed by nationally-acclaimed solo theatre artist Jade Esteban Estrada (2005 Performance Artist of the Year) at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 16, 2007. The performance will be held at Cardinal Hall at Ball State University located at 2000 West University Avenue in Muncie, Indiana. The event is wheelchair accessible and appropriate for ages 13 and up. Show duration is 75 minutes with no intermission. The celebrated actor will sign autographs immediately after the show.

Beauty. Art. Flamboyance. Love. Struggle. Fame. The man The Advocate and Out Magazine call "the first gay Latin star" celebrated the world premiere of ICONS at the 2002 Columbus National Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival in Columbus Ohio. In the show, Estrada portrays Sappho, Michelangelo, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Rivera and Ellen DeGeneres. The show played the University of Indianapolis in September 2006.
"'ICONS' is part history lesson, part musical, part politics and ALL entertainment," states Jennifer Chung of the San Diego Daily Transcript. Tom Sime of the Dallas Morning News calls it, "funny and irreverent…a feel-good session for gay people." Lisa Gauthier of Nuvo in Indianapolis stated, "I'm not gay...but I loved these shows."
ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 2 debuted at the CNGLTF in 2004 winning the Audience Favorite Award in Solo Performance. In the sequel Estrada portrays Alexander the Great, Queen Christina of Sweden, Susan B. Anthony, Billie Jean King, Harvey Milk and 9/11 hero Mark Bingham.
ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 3 debuted at the CNGLTF in 2006 and won the Best Solo Performance and Best Original Music awards. In the last segment of the trilogy, Estrada took on the roles of biblical Naomi, King James, Bessie Smith, Greg Louganis and Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney.
"Jade Esteban Estrada is a brilliant young writer and performer. It was an honor to experience the ministry of this modern pioneer of the gay movement, "states Rev. Troy Perry, Founder of the Worldwide Metropolitan Community Church.
