Comedy Central comedian Jade Esteban Estrada will perform “A Lullaby for Ryan: The History of HIV/AIDS in America” at 7 pm on Thursday, December 3rd at MCC of Albuquerque.
“A Lullaby for Ryan” incorporates comedy with a tribute to Ryan White. White was an American teenager who became an HIV/AIDS poster child in the 1980s when he was expelled from school because of his disease, which he contracted from a contaminated blood treatment.
Estrada’s method is particularly interesting because he uses entertainment-education in his shows. He uses comedy to educate people about HIV/AIDS. The approach is appealing, particularly to young people. The audience is entertained and at the same time learning.
Admission is free, a love offering will be received.
World AIDS Day is Tuesday, December 1st and MCC of Albuquerque will Host a World AIDS Day Interfaith Service at 7:00 pm. The Service will remember those we have lost from AIDS and those who are living with AIDS.
