This is Jamie, Kirk’s husband. Kirk grew up in the loving and accepting atmosphere of Genesius Theatre. In his words, “When I was 11, in 1974 – a gay, withdrawn, chubby child…my mother, at the suggestion of a friend, dropped me off at Genesius Theatre…In truth, Genesius saved my life, and gave me my life.”

What better place to have a party celebrating Kirk, and what better place to be the recipient of donations in honor of Kirk?

Indeed! Lots of food will be provided. And beverages (adult and otherwise)! There will be performances of trademark Kirk Lawrence songs, accompanied by the inimitable Dan Pardo on piano. In short, it’s going to be a rocking party, exactly what Kirk loved.

Who’d miss that?

I’m making this a post rather than a Facebook event so that it can be shared publicly and widely - so please share on your page. Also please RSVP in the comments with the names of attendees.

Please donate generously to Genesius Theatre (a tax deductible 501c3) in his honor, whether or not you are able to attend. At the link, there is a box to click to target your donation in Kirk’s honor.

This is Jamie, Kirk’s husband. Kirk passed away this morning at 10:26 EST.

I was able to be with him and hold him, and talk with him as he made a peaceful passage.

So many people reached out in so many ways to give him strength. I greatly appreciate it and he did too.

However you knew Kirk, please think of him in that way today for a moment. Maybe it was a poem he read. Maybe you worked with him. Maybe you just somehow became connected. Maybe it’s a show he was in, or your favorite show he was in.

For me, he will always be my Hedwig.

“The last time I saw you
We had just split in two
You was looking at me
I was looking at you…”

Godspeed, my beloved husband. We are children of the sun, forever together.
