Kilmartin pokes fun at the experiences of his adolescence and young manhood to weave an important statement about the pressures of masculinity. Humor punctuates Kilmartin's heartfelt stories, including the Halloween his mother sent him to kindergarten dressed as a girl, the day he discovered pornographic magazines in his neighbor's garage and the day he tried out for the baseball team. Kilmartin is a counseling psychologist and an expert on men's issues. Overcoming Masculine Depression. The performance is sponsored by the University Health Center, Office of Sexual Assault and Substance Abuse, Office of Residence Life and JMU Athletics.
