WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
On 27 October 1992, Allen Schindler, Jr., an American Radioman Petty Officer Third Class in the United States Navy was brutally murdered in a public bathroom in Sasebo Japan. His family was only able to identify the body from the tattoos on his arms. Utilizing transcripts from the consequent trial of the defendants, Kenny Mellman (of Kiki & Herb fame) presents a chamber musical about homophobia, murder, the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and the on again/off again relationship between gay history and the public bathroom.

Earnestness is not necessarily a word you'd think to associate with one of the co-creators of the gleefully sardonic Kiki and Herb. Yet, Kenny Mellman's new chamber musical, Say Seaboy, You Sissy Boy?, making its debut at Dixon Place, is nothing if not earnest. Fortunately, it's also tuneful, funny, and moving.
The writer/composer/performer remains behind the piano for the duration of the 45-minute show, mixing personal anecdotes about growing up gay in not-so-friendly surroundings with the history of Allen Schindler, the gay Navy officer who was beaten to death by fellow sailors in a public bathroom in Sasebo, Japan in 1992.
