Said Daily Variety, “Kearns offers the furnace
of drama: sharp, poignant characters. His
people are utterly human, and their plight is a

Kearns was recently presented with a
proclamation from the city of Los Angeles

Kearns will perform "Intimacies” in the
Great Hall, Westminster Presbyterian Church,
1624 NE Hancock, on Friday and Saturday,
January 26 and 27 at 8 pm. Tickets are $10 in
advance from A W oman’s Place Bookstore,
Music Millenium and the Cascade AIDS
Project; or $12 at the door. A portion of the
proceeds will benefit the Cascade AIDS
Project
