Director, Playwright
CurrentCurrent project is my play, "Out of the Closet and Into the Fire."Out of the Closet and Into the Fire, by Jan H Wolfe, is a curated series of stories about gay life from the perspective of 16 different people. All characters are based on real stories told or sent to her by real people. They have all been edited, condensed and changed to make the stories more universal, more stage-worthy and to protect identities. The actors inhabit these characters and talk directly to the audience and tell stories that are sad or happy, funny or heartbreaking, stories that speak of resilience or loss, fear and hope. Presented quickly without musical interludes, the effect is that of sitting in your living room with interesting guests. For school or park performances, some pieces may be removed. It has been performed to standing ovations in El Paso and Las Cruces and Wolfe is looking to travel it to East El Paso and the county and elsewhere in Texas. This play is offered for FREE to any organization or business that would like to present it, with the caveat that any profit be donated to an LGBTQ+ friendly charity in the area.
