Oklahoma native Kelly Mantle (the nephew of NY Yankee great Mickey Mantle!) is a veteran of numerous primetime TV shows, stage and films. He learned early on how to use the power of gender duality to knock the conservative townsfolk out of their comfort zone. Hilarious, lyrical and moving, Mantle's play-with-music seizes that power to confuse, illuminate and advance the ongoing drive for equality.
Sparkling with original songs and astutely chosen covers, and featuring tales that range from playing the Bible’s Eve as transgendered to a true-life encounter with George W. Bush, The Confusion of My Illusio serves as Mantle’s personal battle cry in the tradition of the gender-benders at Stonewall.
