My name is Josh Rivera Petersen, I am 24 years old and, nowadays, I live with my mother, Abigail Rivera Petersen in the Hotel Plaza, placed at 5th Ave, 768, New York. Since I was born on September 23th , 1959, I’m not my mother’s favorite son, in the other hand, I was my father’s one while alive. When I was a child, I had a dream to be the most praised performer on Broadway stages, but Abigail has only encouraged my brother, Bryan Petersen Rivera, to go with at all, who also has the desire to work in the artistical world. When I’ve completed around 20 years old, the conselour of NYADA acepted me on his program, where I’ve studied Dramatic Art with the purpose to get a vacancy in a future Broadway show. 

In 1983, I entered in the cast of “The Sound os Music”, but I didn’t appear at any show because, before of it, I was fired as I argued with the director because of the musical scene “16 going on 17” would be staged by a straight couple and would promote the possessive and sexist relationship. One night, when I’ve gone to the Foxxxy Butterflies nightclub to forget my problems, I’ve gotten involved with someone, with who I had sex and contracted HIV, so, after of all these frustrations and supposed to hide it all, I’ve started using cocaine in the trying on keep going with my monotone life. Nobody knows about my disease, neither about the drug consumption.
