Young muti-hyphenate (writer, director, actor) James Fluhr started developing his Fringe Fest piece, Our Lady, a few years ago in response to the many gay teens who were taking their own lives. What he calls a ‘contemporary fairy tale’ is a powerful, fast moving one man show with real emotional range and some intriguing twists and turns. And there’s some drag! There’s only one performance left, today, but judging by the reaction to his work by audiences and critics, this is not the last time you will hear about James Fluhr.
So we asked him to tell us a few things, nine to be exact. And here’s what he said:
The talented Mr. Fluhr
1. Movie line you use, possibly too much.
” Well, fuck me gently with a chain saw…”

Mormons. Patrick Wilson was really hot in the HBO version of Angels in America.
3. Trend you’d be happy to see the end of?
