LA Weekly has described the lifelong work of Michael Kearns as "collisions of sex and death, of eroticism and grief.” Globally recognized as Hollywood’s first openly gay actor, Kearns became an artist-activist during the AIDS crisis, whose unparalleled work gave voice to those impacted by HIV/AIDS.

We will be discussing his latest inspiration, the world premiere of The Ache For Home, a docudrama illuminating homeless voices in West Hollywood (to be presented online on Sunday October 17).
