Everett Quinton, Who Kept The Ridiculous Theatrical Co. Alive, Is Dead At 71

A seminal presence in both Off-Off-Broadway and queer theater, Ridiculous was founded by playwright/director/actor Charles Ludlam in the late 1960s.  Quinton became Ludlam’s partner and co-star in 1975; after Ludlam died of AIDS in 1987, Quinton took over all of Ludlam’s roles and maintained the company for a decade. – TheaterMania
