I do not think the production below happened. There was
a production of this show,
directed by Jimmy Phillips for Celebration Theatre, in 2012, See
its program.
Also see this in depth article
on the production.

any, of the above ideas were actually produced

To recap
recent years, Joe moved to Dallas in 2012, to take care
of a close friend who was sick. And after the friend died, he moved
to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, in 2014. Joe moved back to Houston
in November 2017, to more closely deal with his own health concerns.

Joe was
in the Montrose Singers in the early 1980s

According
to the caption on this photo from Joe's Facebook profile, this shot
is
from when he was in the 1980 film "Urban Cowboy," though in
an undredited role
These
two photos were from a batch for sale on eBay from a dealer in Arkansas.
I did not win the auction but grabbed the images, which were later identified
to
have included Joe, above in the tank top, and below seated on the right.
If you can
provide more info, like the where and when for these I would appreciate
it.
Joe did live in Eureka Springs before Houston, so these were of he and
his friends.
Actually, it's quite amazing that I spotted these and their relevance
became known.
There
was a mini-contoversy about these photos, as the dealer could not
resist inserting homophobic comments into his ad. I complained to him
and to eBay, and then others did as well, and the ad was finally pulled,
and he relisted then without his bigoted comments. They went for too
high
a price for me to try to bid.
Here's
some of the story.
Joe was
amazingly detailed in his record-keeping and among his files I found
a resume and notebook.
The Resume lists quite a few acting roles that did not show up in these
many pages of reviews.
