 
An evening of chat, reminiscence, and performance, telling the story
of two parallel journeys. Alone onstage, Sir Ian recalls his childhood
fascination with the theatre and his experience of acting in London's West
End, on Broadway, in Los Angeles, and beyond. He also confides his early
awareness of being gay and his momentous decision to finally come out of
the closet just before Queen Elizabeth knighted him in 1991 for his services
to the performing arts. "A Knight Out" is a visiting production
at LATC.
This limited engagement is Sir Ian's gift to local theatre and gay
communities. All proceeds will be shared by the following organizations:
GLAAD, the Ian McKellen Scholarship
in Acting at UCLA School of Film, Theater and Television, Highways
Performance Space and Gallery, The Gay and Lesbian Youth Center, and the
Hobart Boulevard School Shakespeare Program.
