Hello and welcome to the Taylor Hart Channel on MetaCafe!

I want to hear from you! Let me know what you think of my work. Don't hesitate to leave a comment! All I ask is that you be kind and treat all others on this site with respect and courtesy.

I am a 44yr. old GWM who loves life, art, nature and my family and friends.

At 5 years old I wrote my first ... two papers on physics and cosmology. At the same age I was on TV for the first time singing the Sedaka song 'Shop Around.'

I studied at the Cleveland Play house for 12 years until my graduation from high school in 1982.

At 10 yrs old I performed in my first professional stage play.

At age 12 I got my first job working at Steven's Florist earning $1.oo an hour.

At age 13 I met with the mayor of Garfield Heights, and, with his approval, founded my city's first community theatre, The Garfield Players, which later evolved into the Garfield Heights Little Theatre.

At age 14 I was the Assistant Manager of Artistic Touch Florists.

At age 15 I came out of the closet and told everyone I knew, including family, that I am gay.

At age 16 I founded Cleveland's first gay youth group.

Also at age 16 I started doing standup comedy at the old Cleveland Comedy Club.

At 17 I left my family's home to live with my first boyfriend, Bill, and his family.

At age 18 I wrote my first play, "Whatever Happened to Fay Wray?"

At 22 I became a resident actor at Cleveland Public Theatre.

The same year I joined 'Dirty City Players Comedy Troup.'

At age 25 I started singing lead vocals in a Madonna cover-group named 'Messiah.'

At age 28 I started my own comedy troup by the name of 'The Comedy Factory.'

At age 32 I stopped performing live due to the nature of my life long battle with diabetes. My body was simply too weak.

Instead of performing I started writing an advice column named 'From the Hart.' It was published in several gay newspapers around the country.

At 34 I wrote my last play, "At Heartbreak's End."

At 38 I retired completely due to the progression of my diabetes.

Currently I live with my family and my three pound blond Chihuahua named Zsa Zsa.

In 2007 I picked up my first paint brush and completed my first painting in August. Since that time I paint constantly.

I will move within the year to Berea, Ohio, home to Baldwin Wallace University, where I plan to be involved with their theatre department.

I am a collector of many things. I collect Victorian Antiques and other 19th Century furniture; clocks; Asian art; Faberge Eggs; Family photos and family wedding photos; books, music, films; scrap books; stuffed animals; religious art; and jewelry.

My goals include helping to find a cure for Diabetes, publishing a novel, returning to the stage, finding a nice Jewish (or not) man to spend the rest of my life with.
