Entertainer Gorman Lowe was a fixture in the Pittsburgh theater scene until Type II diabetes caused his kidneys to fail seven years ago. For a time, he wasn't healthy enough to meet the demanding schedules of rehearsals and performances. But thrice-weekly dialysis treatments and dramatic weight loss have given his acting career a second chance.

Mr. Lowe is appearing in "The Wild, Wacky, Wonderful World of Gorman Lowe," a two-act cabaret that opened about three weeks ago at the Greentree Holiday Inn's dinner theater. After a two-week break early next month, the Saturday evening performances will continue into early October.
