Tim Miller brings his act — part standup, part performance art — to the stage at the ArtHouse at 7 pm on Aug. 25. Miller will also conduct a performance workshop at Castle Hill and a piece created at that workshop will be performed.

Miller’s show, “Lay of the Land,” draws from the headlines and from his own life. He talks about choking as a child and parlays that into the Statue of Liberty suffering a similar fate. He takes on gay marriage and Prop 8 with its legal twists and turns.
This latest offering from Miller is a sharp-knifed look at the State of the Queer Union during a time of trial! Careening from his sexy misadventures performing in 45 States, to Marriage Equality street protests, to the electoral assaults on gay folks all over the country, to his life as a grade-school flag monitor, “Lay of the Land” friskily gets at that feeling of gay folks being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu!
Miller is an internationally acclaimed solo performer. His performance works have delighted and emboldened audiences all over the world at such prestigious venues as Yale Repertory Theatre, the London Institute of Contemporary Art, the Walker Art Center, Actors Theatre of Louisville and the Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave Festival.
He is the author of the books “Shirts & Skin,” “Body Blows” and “1001 Beds, an anthology of his performances and essays which won the 2007 Lambda Literary Award for best book in Drama-Theatre. Miller has taught performance at UCLA, NYU and the Claremont School of Theology. He is a co-founder of two of the most influential performance spaces in the United States: Performance Space 122 on Manhattan's Lower East Side and Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica, CA.
Also, on Wednesday, August 25th, the 5th Season of Summer Jazz with Bart Weisman continues with a show, featuring Carmen Cicero (sax), with Kent Hewitt (piano), Marshall Wood (bass) and Bart Weisman (drums).
The show takes place at 6 pm on Wednesday at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM),
460 Commercial Street. For more information, call (508) 487-1750. Tickets cost $15.
