Night crowd! $611 away from funding a transcendently fun, important piece of theater that exemplifies "Existence is Resistance". A *historically set* new play about queer & trans joy is a rare thing. I'm honored to be playing a BATTY protectorate character I want you to meet. Virtual Tix available!

You could get yourself or a loved one done up in a truly glamorous, artistic, Jazz-age manner AND be the one to push us over 10k! The team seeks a modest 12k to fund a brand new production company paying professional actors, most of which are trans & non-binary performers, Union & comparable wages!

The far right cope machine is already trying to manufacture a narrative about the massive loss the French fascists faced today. They are scared they can sense what’s coming to America and it’s not fascism. Popular fronts win and scare fascists. Keep them on the back foot they are weak and scared.

Please note the wildly incorrect polling in France. No matter what the cacophony of pundits keep saying, polls are not predictive, and are never the end of the story. Organizing, volunteering, engaging in conversation, and direct action are effective tools. Let's use them here too.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

It IS! It's very sincere, sweet and wholesome, while still being a little saucy, which I think is really needed in this current climate; to have that range. Especially for marginalized identities to have rich, fun roles, additionally hard to find in a historical piece. Thanks for your interest!

Saw my first one in the wild in Upstate NY the other day and the CONVULSIVE laugh that absolutely ERUPTED out of me is clearly the ONLY response to experiencing one of these things in person. You think you have a sense of their out-of-scale ugliness but nothing can prepare you for the real thing.

I think a thing that's poorly understood about American history is that a lot of the progress made through the New Deal was driven by the political elite's fear of the Russian Revolution happening here and not by them having a sudden turn of heart after being visited by multiple ghosts or something.
