Writer, filmmaker, actor, or drag queen extraordinaire… Sky Gilbert is one of North America’s most controversial artistic forces. He was born in Norwich, Connecticut, but since 1965, Toronto has been his home. The co-founder of Toronto’s Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, for two decades Gilbert has written and directed his own hit plays, including The Dressing Gown and Capote at Yaddo. In 1985 he received the Pauline McGibbon Award for directing, and he has also received two prestigious Dora Mavor Moore Awards. Gilbert’s third film, My Summer Vacation, was featured at the San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. His first novel, Guilty, was published in 1998 by Insomniac Press. Digressions of a Naked Party Girl is his first full-length collection of poetry.
