from www.lasnark.com – Highways Performance Space Artistic Director Leo Garcia presents Debbie Does My Dad, performance artist Bobby Gordon’s sincere, sexual and stirring performance piece about growing up in the shadow of his dad’s erection, directed by D’Lo. Gordon’s father Howie Gordon (stage name Richard Pacheco) casts a big shadow, having won Playgirl Man of the Year Honors in 1979 and appearing in over 100 pornographic titles.

In Debbie Does My Dad performance artist Bobby Gordon deals with overly excited friends, meeting (or really failing to meet) unreasonably high expectations from female classmates, his own sexual development, confronting and rebelling against his father, and ultimately working to redefine manhood for himself.

Nothing is what you would expect in this show where the words “ sensitive” and “ male porn star” go together as easily as “ masturbation” and “ inevitably getting walked in on by your parents.” Gordon offers an intimate window into his journey to come to grips with his father’ s former career, and create a world where a man can be an emotional and a sexual being; a world where fucking and feelings can co-exist.
