Description

Kyle Long talks with legendary media personality and director Tom Alvarez. During the 1970s, Alvarez became the first Latinx broadcaster to be featured on Indianapolis television. Today, Alvarez is best known for his work in theatre — as both a critic and a producer. His latest project is the “Jewel Box Revue 2022,” an homage to the original Jewel Box Revue, a groundbreaking multi-racial female impersonator troupe that toured across the United States during the 1950s and 60s.
