Becoming Wilkinson
When I started this podcast, I thought it would be the story of my journey from married man with three sons, involved in ministry in the NW, to my current life as a gay man in Palm Springs, CA. I'd weave in interesting interviews with amazing people whom I've met along the way. But as the podcast has evolved, I realized that interacting and hearing other people's stories has changed me. The Universe always sends me just the right person at just the right time to guide me along my own journey of "Becoming". Join me as I have conversations with these fascinating people and share this journey with you.
Becoming Wilkinson
Coming out as gay to his macho Marine dad, performing in adult films & finding a home on stage.
In this engaging conversation, Ronny Borrelli shares his personal journey of coming out, navigating life as a gay man in various environments, and his experiences in the adult film industry. He discusses the challenges he faced growing up in Lake Havasu, his transition to Palm Springs, and his return to performing arts. The conversation also touches on the importance of activism, the impact of the AIDS epidemic, and the significance of art in inspiring change.
Ronny's Bio:
Ronny Borrelli hails from Lake Havasu City, AZ where he participated in productions at the Lake Havasu's theater, Grace Arts Live in “South Pacific”, “Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical”, “Little Shop of Horrors”, “Peter Pan”, and “The Wizard of Oz”.
A resident of the Palm Springs area since 2014, he returned to his love of performing arts last year as Harvey Johnson in “Bye Bye Birdie” at the Palm Canyon Theatre.
He performed in “F**king Men” with The Bent and he was also featured as Spike in his first time performing at Revolution Stage Company.
Ronny is looking forward to pursuing his passion for the performing arts and is eager to see what other opportunities await! He’s excited to join the cast of “The Inheritance” at The Bent’s final play of season 3. (The Inheritance is an inspired two-part examination of survival, healing, class divide, and what it means to call a place home. Part 2 will lead off The Bent’s season 4 in Palm Springs). No wonder Ronny is excited to be chosen to be a part of this epic play!
