Stage spotlight: 'Stories I Can't Tell Mama'

Gnomic funnyman Leslie Jordan, who won an Emmy in 2006 for his portrayal of a sexually ambiguous character on "Will and Grace," is bringing his deadpan humor to the Twin Cities. The Chattanooga, Tenn., native performs "Stories I Can't Tell Mama" this weekend only under the auspices of the Actors Theater of Minnesota. In the show, Jordan, who has appeared in scores of movies and TV shows, dishes on Hollywood and his life under the lights. He also will tell behind-the-scenes stories about the Oscar-nominated feature "The Help," in which he plays newspaper executive Mr. Blackly.
