San Francisco: TD Prods. & Stephen Dubov, 1983. [36p] 6.75x8.5 inches, introductions, 9 solo pieces, illustrated with production photos, very good booklet in stapled pictorial wraps. William Talen is an actor/writer from Grand Rapids, MI who established himself as a street performer in San Francisco in the 1980s and in the late 1990s NYC as Reverend Billy. This collection of monologues is from a much earlier show. Includes "The Church of Eternal Life Through Mutation" with Billy as a preacher on the tube, a foreshadowing if ever there was one! One holding located in OCLC as of 5/2021.
