Michael Leroy Thompson
d. January 20,1994
An Orlando entertainer, who helped raise thousands of dollars for Central
Florida's AIDS support organizations, died Thursday of complications from AIDS.
He was 36. Thompson was producer of “Voices . . . A Time to Listen”, a theatrical
spectacular that starred gospel singer Sandi Patti, pop singer John Davidson,
Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz and close to 200 Orlando area actors,
singers and dancers. The show broke a box-office record at Tupperware
Convention Center Auditorium and raised about $38,000 for Central Florida AIDS
support groups and for the AIDS Initiative, a national fund that helps performers
and their families who are affected by HIV and AIDS.
