Figure skating icon Randy Gardner discusses his personal and professional life in his one-man, autobiographical show "Go Figure! The Randy Gardner Story." In the play – co-written by Randy Gardner and Josh Ravetch and directed by Josh Ravetch – Gardner recounts both triumph and tragedy, from his upbringing to his decades-long career as an Olympic champion figure skater. He takes the audience on the path of his own shocking and surprising story on his way to winning the World Championships in pairs ice skating. He met his lifelong skating partner, Tai Babilonia, when they were children, and as she is one of his life companions, he discusses their skating careers as well as their personal lives. Together they won five U.S. Figure Skating Championships and one World Figure Skating Championship, went to the Olympics, performed in the Ice Capades and together endured her addiction issues and his living in the closet. For both the Friday and Saturday, Tai will be joining Randy onstage.

This event is presented with support from the City of West Hollywood's WeHo Arts program (www.weho.org/arts). This will be a free open dress rehearsal performance. The official ticketed performance and reception will take place on Saturday, January 6, and be a fundraiser for the National AIDS Monument which will be sited in West Hollywood. Randy's long time skate partner, Tai Babilonia, will make a special appearance and this event will be hosted by Olympian Greg Louganis and his husband, Johnny Chaillot. RSVP at: bit.ly/GoFigureJan6
