Raleigh audiences have heard the name Jade Esteban Estrada before. He is a “one-man festival” states Matt Ehlers of the Raleigh News and Observer. He continues, “There’s multitasking and then there’s Jade Esteban Estrada.” The Estrella award-winning singer was the master of ceremonies for the annual La Fiesta del Pueblo in Raleigh from 1999-2003.
What do Sappho, Michelangelo, Oscar, Gertrude, Sylvia and Ellen all have in common? They're all coming to Raleigh - at the same time!
Beauty. Art. Flamboyance. Love. Struggle. Fame. The man The Advocate and Out Magazine call "the first gay Latin star" celebrated the world premiere of ICONS at the 2002 Columbus National Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival in Columbus Ohio. In the show, Estrada portrays Sappho, Michelangelo, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Rivera and Ellen DeGeneres.
"'ICONS' is part history lesson, part musical, part politics and ALL entertainment," states Jennifer Chung of the San Diego Daily Transcript. Tom Sime of the Dallas Morning News calls it, "funny and irreverent…a feel-good session for gay people." Lisa Gauthier of Nuvo in Indianapolis states, "I'm not gay...but I loved these shows." “Estrada is one of the finest American solo theatre artists of the 21st century,” states Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine.
Estrada debuted his first solo show “It’s Too Late…It’s Already In Me…” at the Festival de Libre Enganche in 1997 and a decade later has been compared to Ruth Draper, Lily Tomlin and other luminaries in the field of solo theatre.
“You’ve got to hand it to Jade Esteban Estrada – he works hard for his money, bringing ICONS to such places as Nebraska, West Virginia and Idaho,” states Florida’s Watermark.
Estrada’s other solo shows include “Gay Christian, Gay Muslim, Gay Jew,” “Pico de Gallo,” “Chek it, Baby: A Fabulous Explanation of Anton Chekhov’s Fiercest Plays” and “Tortilla Heaven.” He is currently on location shooting the upcoming feature film, “The Innocent Killers” directed by Brett Mauser. He also released his designer humor line of bilingual greeting cards, “Jade Esteban Estrada for Nos Vemos Greetings.”
