	Phorkyad on Tonight Live with Paisey Beebe (SLCN)	Fri 7/11 5pm SL Part 3 (high school)
In this monologue performance, Phorkyad tells his stories of Catholic grade school and high school, finding the humorous and serious aspects of the positive—and negative—role models of his youth. With references to secular events (such as the Kennedy Assassination and the NASA moon landing), as well as more religious happenings (the world’s oldest nun giving sex advice and, of course, Vatican II and the Baltimore Catechism), Phorkyad seeks to discover how his Catholic school education shaped the college professor he is today.

IM features original music provided by accompanist Thaylon Singh, a long-time collaborator of Phorkyad’s. Thaylon will perform vocal and instrumental pieces on guitar and other instruments. The collaboration has been mostly long-distance over the Internet (as previous collaborations have been), using web pages and audio streaming software to preview possible musical selections.

	Clockwise from upper left: Steve in the confessional; Jeremy's take on the books involved; the steps outside my fourth grade classroom--where I cried after singing the solo; Phorkyad blesses the crowd; a pocket watch with hand-painted sacred heart; urinals--imagine turning around from them and finding a nun staring at you!
