MIXED MESSAGES | ON STARSKY (NO HUTCH) David Driver
About This Show
The tale of performer David Driver’s Starsky & Hutch fantasy unfolds into an achingly honest story of sexual awakening, family loss, terror, and artistic inspiration. Loosely structured around the four seasons for which the show ran, the performance and song cycle of classics and Driver originals speak directly to a narrative that explores 1970s culture, a queer childhood, and the intersection of one family’s struggles with the weekly plotlines and vibe of Starsky & Hutch.
