Let me give this show some attention since why not.

Here's a fairly solid amount of all the different kinds of media that I think both can fit well in and could share the same universe as Bede Blake & Robert Butler's Creeped Out, which you can both read and see below for yourself:

First off, here's the episodes from both seasons that are all set in the same universe as each other in this "Verse" —

Season 1

— Slapstick, Trolled, A Boy Called Red, Kindlesticks, Shed No Fear and Side Show 1 & 2

Season 2

— Itchy, The Many Place, The Unfortunate Five, No Filter, The Takedown & Splinta Claws

Eight downer endings and four good endings.

Second, now here's the actual universe —

• Dan Angel & Billy Brown's R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series

— Every episode of the entire series except Red Eye, Poof De Fromage, Bad Egg, Mrs. Worthington and Lotsa Luck

• Jeff Kline's Transformers Prime & Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising

• Dan Mandel & Chris Pearson's Dan Vs.

• Dan Cross & David Hoge's Pair Of Kings

• Amy Heckerling's Fast Times At Ridgemont High & Clueless (1995)

• David Mirkin's Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

• Lloyd Goldfine's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)

• Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories

— Every episode of the entire series except Guilt Trip and Family Dog

• Michael Lehmann's Heathers (1988)

• Stephen Herek's Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead (1991)

• Darren Stein's Jawbreaker (1999)

• Harry Elfont & Deborah Kaplan's Josie and the Pussycats (2001)

• Roberto Aguirre-Sarcasa's Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina (Netflix)

• Alfred Gough & Miles Millar's Wednesday (Netflix)

• Edgar Wright's Don't (Fake Trailer)

• Rob Zombie's Werewolf Women Of The S.S. (Fake Trailer)

• Eli Roth's Thanksgiving (Fake Trailer & 2023 film)

• Neil Gaiman's Good Omens (TV Series)

• Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service

• Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys (1987)

• Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer

• New Line Cinema's Critters (1 & 2)

• Joe Dante's The 'Burbs (1988)

• Gil Kenan's A Boy Called Christmas (2021)

and

• Michael Dougherty's Trick r Treat & Krampus

every single book I read in 2022. all 129 of them.

jesus christ

let's start with the best of the best; everything else will get listed beneath the read more because I'm not an animal. even just picking out my favorites is honestly probably going to get pretty lengthy, even though I'm trying to keep the synopses short.

batmanisagatewaydrug's noteworthy books of 2022

Complaint! (Sara Ahmed, 2021) - necessary for anyone doing diversity work in higher education, tbh

America is Not the Heart (Elaine Castillo, 2018) - achingly gorgeous novel of heartbreak and healing.

The School for Good Mothers (Jessamine Chan, 2022) - honestly? I feel very good calling this my favorite book of the entire year. sensitive, smart, chilling.

Black Feminist Thought (Patricia Hill Collins, 1990) - truly ashamed to say I didn't read this sooner. Collins' clear-eyed analysis remains crazily spot-on 30+ years later.

Hurts So Good: The Science and Pleasure of Pain on Purpose (Leigh Cowart, 2021) - I read this book so early in 2022 and literally have not stopped thinking about it since.

Batman: King Tut's Tomb (Nunzio DeFillippis, Christina Weir, José Luis García-López, and Kevin Nowlan, 2009) - dare I say the most fun I had with a comic all year.

You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty (Akwaeke Emezi, 2022) - a romance unlike any other. queer, fun, sexy, bold as hell, and joyfully life-affirming.

The Dangers of Smoking in Bed (Mariana Enríquez, trans. Megan McDowell, 2021) - DELICIOUSLY creepy short stories that will lurk in your brain forever.

Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century (Kim Fu, 2022) - if a more perfect short story collection exists I am yet to find it.

The World We Make (N.K. Jemisin, 2022) - I normally hesitate to include sequels on a list like this, but god DAMN Jemisin is the queen of modern spec fic for a reason.

We Do This 'Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice (Mariame Kaba, edited by Tamara K. Nopper, 2021) - excellent collection of Kaba's abolitionist writings, drawing on years of organizing experience and wisdom.

Jade City (Fonda Lee, 2017) - look out! new favorite doorstopper fantasy series alert!

Priestdaddy (Patricia Lockwood, 2017) - about the best damn memoir I've ever read. heartbreaking and hysterical in turns, poetry the whole way through.

Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory (Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, 1996 and 1999) - it's always so exciting when something much-hyped lives up to the hype in every way. Batman at his grim and moody Batmaniest with a Gotham that’s deliciously bleak.

Station Eleven (Emily St. John Mandel, 2014) - I didn't think I'd like this book much at all, then ended up proposing on the second date. oops!

I'm Glad My Mom Died (Jennette McCurdy, 2022) - you will also be glad McCurdy's mom died, and also experience every other known human emotion along the way.

Kaikeyi (Vaishnavi Patel, 2022) - SPLENDID mythology retelling + political fantasy.

My Body (Emily Ratajkowski, 2022) - haunting haunting haunting personal essays about Ratajkowski's life as a model and subsequent alienation from her own body.

Batman: Bruce Wayne, Murderer? (Greg Rucka et al, 2002) - genuinely what can I say I'm a messy bitch and I love when the Bats are having a terrible time.

The Batman Adventures Vol. 2 #1-17 (created by Dan Slott, Ty Templeton, Rick Burchett, Terry Beatty, and Bruce Timm, 2003) - a continuation of the Batman: The Animated Series universe that frankly just fucking rules.

Little Rabbit (Alyssa Songsiridej, 2022) - a potent and erotic adult coming of age story.

The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century (Amia Srinivasan, 2021) - thorny, difficult, vital essays.

Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia (Sabrina Strings, 2019) - jaw-droppingly thorough research into the role of fatpobia played and plays in the project of race-making.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (Ocean Vuong, 2019) - yeah so it turns out no one was REMOTELY exaggerating. Vuong really is That Good.

Hench (Natalie Zina Walschots, 2020) - wild fun with a ruthless protagonist and her sex villainous beetle man boss; what more could you ask for?

Love Your Asian Body: AIDS Activism in Los Angeles (Eric C. Wat, 2021) - learning about queer history makes me feel like I’m holding something so vibrant and fragile and precious right in my little queer hand. this book is an emotional journey in such a shining way.

Never Have I Ever (Isabel Yap, 2021) - EXCITING short story collection centered on girls having Just The Weirdest Time.

Thirsty Sword Lesbians (April Kit Walsh, 2021)

special shame zone because I want you to know how bad this sucked, do not read this:

Rethinking Sex: A Provocation (Christine Emba, 2022). patronizing, puritanical, reductive, painfully cisheteronormative. weirdly afraid of group sex. not actually that provocative, just aggressively Catholic.

and last but most certainly least, a comic that I want to remind you all fucking sucked just one more time before the year is done.

Batman: One Bad Day - The Riddler (Tom King and Mitch Gerads, 2022)

Tom King, go fuck yourself. Mitch is cool though, the art slapped.

Jack Lemmon in The Apartment (Billy Wilder, 1960)

Cast: Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray, Ray Walston, Jack Kruschen, David Lewis, Hope Holiday, Joan Shawlee. Screenplay: Billy Wilder, I.A.L. Diamond. Cinematography: Joseph LaShelle. Art direction: Alexandre Trauner. Film editing: Daniel Mandell. Music: Adolph Deutsch.

Jack Lemmon was an actor Billy Wilder trusted almost more than any other. Starting with Some Like It Hot (1959), they made seven films together. I think Wilder may have found Lemmon's bright American likableness the perfect antidote to his own Middle-European cynicism. It shows particularly in one fleeting moment in The Apartment, after Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine) has attempted suicide with sleeping pills, and after the doctor (Jack Kruschen) who lives next door to C.C. Baxter (Lemmon) has induced vomiting and left her to recuperate in Baxter's bed. (There is an unnecessary sourness in Wilder's repeated use of suicide as a motif in his comedies: Six years earlier he had Audrey Hepburn's character attempt to kill herself in Sabrina.) As Baxter is dithering around his apartment after the doctor leaves, he pauses for a moment and plugs in the electric blanket that covers Fran. It's a detail that might -- probably usually does -- go unnoticed, except that it strikes the exact right note about Baxter, who can be wrong about the large things -- namely, allowing executives at the insurance company where he works to use his apartment for their extramarital liaisons -- but right about the small ones. The Apartment takes place in the era of male dominance but nascent female assertiveness that was so thoroughly mined by Mad Men: It satirizes the arrogance of the male executives by making the subservient Baxter and the exploited Fran the most sympathetic characters. It also doesn't "slut-shame" Fran for having slept with her boss, Jeff Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray), which would have been unthinkable only a few years earlier, when the Production Code was in full and rigid enforcement. We really are on the cusp of the transition from the prudish 1950s to the permissive 1960s here. This is not to say that The Apartment is any kind of revolutionary film: Its portrayal of women remains on the retrograde side, but the performances of Lemmon and MacLaine make it look smarter than really is.

My year of reading! I did this last year and it was a cool way to organize and revisit the books I'd read, so I thought I'd do it again this year.

What's nice about doing this is that I get a practical layout of everything. When I was thinking about what I read this year I had a kind of meh feeling about it, but putting this together helped me remember that there were actually a lot of books I absolutely loved.

There are books on this list I read because a friend recommended it, or that I loved and got other people to read so I could talk about it. So that, even while reading is a solitary pursuit, it's still very much a group activity in other ways.

And while not everything on here was a total winner for me, seeing this helped me realize it was better than thought.

The Very Nice Box, Eve Gleichman, Laura Blackett; Sea of Tranquility, Emily St. John Mandel; Siren Queen, Nghi Vo; Babel, R. F. Kuang; This Is How You Lose the Time War, Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone; How Far the Light Reaches, Sabrina Imbler; The Seep, Chana Porter; The Book Eaters; Sunyi Dean, A Day of Fallen Night, Samantha Shannon; In the Lives of Puppets, By: TJ Klune; The Mimicking of Known Successes, Malka Older; The Sisters of the Winter Wood, Rena Rossner; The Wager; David Grann; Unconquerable Sun, Kate Elliott; Translation State, Ann Leckie; Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckie; Ancillary Sword, Ann Leckie; Ancillary Mercy, Ann Leckie; The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, KJ Charles; The Raven Tower, Ann Leckie; House With Good Bones, T Kingfisher; The Hollow Places, T Kingfisher; Camp Damascus, Chuck Tingle; The Red Scholar's Wake, Aliette de Bodard; Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree; The Twisted Ones, T. Kingfisher; A Haunting on the Hill, Elizabeth Hand; Into the Drowning Deep, Mira Grant; Fugitive Telemetry, Martha Wells; System Collapse, Martha Wells; A Power Unbound, Freya Marske; I Keep My Exoskeletons To Myself, Marisa Crane; The Empress of Salt and Fortune, Nghi Vo; When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain, Nghi Vo; Into the Riverlands, Nghi Vo; Mammoths at the Gates, Nghi Vo

And here are the ones I didn't finish:

Some Desperate Glory, Emily Tesh; Chasing Shadows, Greg Skomal; Witch King, Martha Wells; The Forever Sea, Joshua Phillip Johnson; This Time Tomorrow, Emma Straub

I felt like I'd given up on a lot more books this year, but it wasn't actually any more than last year. I think I might have been more disappointment by the ones on this list. Like, I love Emily Tesh's novellas and this novel just didn't work for me at all. And The Forever Sea was such a slog and so many people had to hear about how much I wasn't enjoying it before I finally gave up with just like, 15% of the book left. And like, honestly, if you're going to put a shark on the cover of your book, your book should primarily be about sharks and less about academia.

The Masked Singer: S9 E2 Commentary (ABBA Week)

Gotta admit, I’m looking forward to the songs tonight, because I like me some ABBA! Anyway, same format as last week: three masked celebrities sing, two are eliminated and one continues on to next week as King or Queen of Masked Singer.

As always, I post this before watching any unmaskings, so don’t take my guesses as spoilers! I am watching on a bit of a delay this week (thanks to the DVR), so this may not get posted until after the episode has aired.

Medusa 🐍: Chess pieces (a Knight and a Bishop), palm trees, and Chris Martin are the clues. I’m leaning toward Fergie, and the voice definitely sounds like her. Some are also suggesting that this could be Bishop Briggs, but for now I’m sticking with Fergie. The palm trees could be associated with Florida, and Fergie is part owner of the Miami Dolphins (along with a few other celebrities). Let’s see what the bonus clue is: First class ticket to Tokyo, flight number 1996. I think “First Class” also refers to Fergie’s song “Glamorous” (“First class, up in the sky…”).

Night Owl 🦉🌚: Broke into the business at 17 years old. Referenced “disco balls” 🪩, which would have been popular in the 1970s, so I’m thinking a ‘70s star. Some of their tracks may have been sampled in hits beloved by Millennials, such as songs by “Britney, Christina, and Nicole”. Seen dancing with a snake. Doing what looked like The Hustle and drinking Long Island Iced Tea. An hourglass ⏳…possibly appeared on Days of Our Lives? Or a song about time? It sounds like Debbie Gibson, but Debbie broke through as a teenager in the 1980s, not the 1970s. But she did release dance music, so the ‘70s clues may have been a distraction. The bonus clue: a pack of blue bubblegum. I’m sticking with Debbie Gibson.

Rock Lobster 🦞 🎸: At a club called “Lobster a Go-Go”, which is a reference to the legendary nightclub “Whiskey a Go-Go”. Has been in the business a long time, doing both films and TV shows. He says people watch him dance “for 15 seconds on the daily”, which suggests he may have a significant following on TikTok. Admits being a “weird, neurotic” kid in school and often pulled pranks, getting expelled from three different schools. I saw some cards being shuffled that had a harlequin print on them, showing a pair of jokers. He still sees himself as neurotic but has made a career out of it. Definitely a comedian, but I can’t put my finger on his voice. It could be Nick Bakay (Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch) or Jim Gaffigan. Bonus clue: A judge’s gavel. I think Jerry Springer (who had a show called Judge Jerry) has already been on here, and the voice didn’t sound like Steve Harvey (even though he has his own comedic judge show). But what about a talent competition judge? Based on the sound of his voice, I think Ken Jeong might be on to something for once. This could very well be Howie Mandel, who is well known for being weird and neurotic (partly due to his lifelong struggles with OCD), and he seems like the kind of guy who could be crazy enough to post videos of himself dancing on TikTok.

Vaudevisuals interview with Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell

It was a beautiful afternoon in New York City and I visited the Happenstance Theater Company founders, Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell. We had a few hours together to catch up on all things ‘physical comedy’. Including their upcoming show “Barococo” which is Opening at the wonderful 59E59 Theater on Feb 9th. I questioned them about the show and the origins of the Happenstance…

Note

are you into any horror media (movies, shows, etc.) ?

some! i'm trying to branch out more bc i think it's such a cool genre and i LOVE spooky shit, but i am also a huge weenie who hates jump scares and hits the ceiling at any sound i don't expect, so i haven't really watched a whole lot of horror movies/shows. i do love some Gothic horror though!! i've really enjoyed Penny Dreadful (OBVIOUSLY lmao), Crimson Peak, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Conjuring, Hush, The Invitation ... stuff like that -- that gives you more a creeping sense of dread that builds and builds -- is more my speed? like, the experience i look for in horror is the escalating sense of "WHAT THE FUCK!!!" more so than slasher/gore/jump scare kind. i also really enjoyed the CW Nancy Drew, iZombie (which I still need to finish), and Los Espookys, which aren't like HORROR horror but have horror elements to them. i am eternally on the lookout for stuff like that so PLEASE send recommendations if you have them!!

i've started a few things, like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and The Order, and also have a bunch of stuff on my watchlist, so if any of these are worth my time, pls let me know!!

The Order

Hemlock Grove

Santa Clarita Diet (which I think I WOULD like tonewise, but i have been told there's a lot of v*miting, which i struggle with)

Brand New Cherry Flavor

What We Do in the Shadows (also sure I would enjoy, I'm just not really into vampires)

Wolf Like Me

Evil

Outer Range (not sure if it's horror but def looks creepy and holy shit have you seen Noah Reid in the trailer)

Archive 81

Ghosts (doesn't look scary but I love ghosts)

i'm slightly more adventurous with READING horror, but still haven't read a lot of it. in the past year i've really enjoyed The Book of Accidents and Wanderers by Chuck Wendig (one million trigger warnings for both, please look before reading!!), The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling, The Ghost Sequences by A.C. Wise, Summer Sons by Lee Mandel (ESPECIALLY if you loved The Raven Cycle and specifically Pynch), Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline (tho it had more than a few incidences of fatphobia :\), The Family Plot by Megan Collins, and Skin Shows by Jack Halberstam (which is queer/critical theory but his work is wall to wall bangers and I highly recommend). i have a bunch more loaded up on my kindle app (Extasia by Claire Legrand, Wake the Bones by Elizabeth Kilcoyne, Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood, The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson, Witches of New York by Ami McKay...) but just need to ... actually read them.

so uhh yeah! tl;dr i DO but i am a big baby and would love recommendations if something sounds like it would fit my tastes!! i especially love ghosts/werewolves/hauntings so hit me up!

#horror #the first time i watched penny dreadful i watched SO much of it through my fingers #and now i think i have probably analyzed every single frame of that show under a critical microscope lmao #anon

i read conversations with friends by sally roonie and i was surpised by how much i enjoyed it bc i hear many people complain about normal people so my expectations were a little low. another one that surprised my was the plot by jean hanff korelitz. i picked it up on a whim and it was quite entertaining. same happened with the memeory police by yōko ogawa and pachinko by jin min lee.

Were there any books that didn't live up to your expectations?

so many tbh??! mostly from authors i have read and enjoyed before or bc the hype around it set some expectations. some of the ones i can think of right now are mister impossible by maggie stiefvater, the ballad of songbirds and snakes by suzanne collins, ninth house by leigh bardugo, the cruel prince by holly black, untamed by doyle glennon, city of girls by elizabeth gilbert, the glass hotel by emily st. john mandel, klara and the sun by kazuo ishiguro, honey girl by morgan rogers, the atlas six by olivie blake....

Did you reread any old faves? If so, which one was your favourite?

again so many?!!? it truly feels like a third of my 2021 reads were rereads.... i just really craved that comfort of familiarity when it came to stories! i reread aftg, the all grishaverse books, rwrb and sage: compendium one (which was probably my favorite reread of the bunch!)

Did you dnf any books?

yes, but only two: the lost apothecary by sarah penner and unsettled ground by claire fuller

Did you read any books outside your usual preferred genre(s)?

yes, i did! i read murder on the orient express by agatha christie which is out of my comfort zone since it’s detective fiction. i also read classic sci-fi which was a first for me (stranger in a stange land by robert a. heinlein—didn’t particularly like it tho. it was quite….weird)

What was your predominant format this year?

mmmmh.... i don’t know for sure but probably ebooks or audiobooks. i got a lot of use out of my libary’s online service this last year.

What's the longest book you read this year?

i reread the saga series part one which has over 1000 pages. it’s a graphic novel tho. so when we’re talking about “traditional” books my longest read was actually a classic: vanity fair by william makepeace thackeray

What are your top 3 anticipated 2022 releases?

bable by r.f. kuang definitely takes the top spot!! two other new releases i am excited for are book lovers by emily henry and how high we go in the dark by sequoia nagamatsu

What books from your tbr did you not get to this year, but are excited to read in 2022?

too many :’) the first ones i can think of are the green bone saga by fonda lee, warbreaker by brandon sanderson, the priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon and rebecca by daphne du maurier

i’m tagging @rosesau, @angslee, @tolerateit, @thenighttrain and everyone who wants to participate in this cute little tag game <3

2020 Reading Challenge Report

I really liked it last year when I made a spread in my journal with my best of books for 2019. So here’s my best of for 2020.

I was WAY surprised that all my favorite books this year were non-fiction. That doesn't mean I didn’t read any good fiction this year, I definitely did. But the truly outstanding, five star books were all non-fiction. This is super weird for me because I never used to read non-fiction unless it was for school. But last year I made a deal with myself that I should have a non-fiction book as at least one of my books-in-progress at all times. I continued that rule this year and wow have I read some great stuff as a result.

Metrics:

Total books read in 2020: 87

If you remove all the books I read with kids, that’s 64. If you remove the books I read with kids and also graphic novels (which—despite being books, goddamn it—admittedly take a lot less time to read), I read 45 books this year. I refuse to remove the audiobooks because that’s hella insulting. Audiobooks are books.

One thing I noticed this year is that before I counted, I was under the impression that I had read a lot of books by Black authors this year, but I hadn't. In fact, it was far fewer than last year. I think part of what was internally confusing was that because two of my books were Caste and The Warmth of Other Suns, both substantial (in the thinking sense and the length sense), at any given time this year, I was reading at least one book by a Black author. So that skewed my thinking. Still, fewer than 10% Black authors is a poor metric.

Another thing I noticed was that cancelled plans for 10 months also means cancelled car trips (yay!) and cancelled audiobook listenings (boo!) So that cut into my total a bit, not listening to books as much with the kids. But I'm looking forward to lots more reading in the new year! Including finishing a bunch of books the kids and I are reading for school and tons of stuff for work. Because I like to have things going on every burner, there are 10 books in progress at the moment, about half of them for school.

random but do you have favorite literature authors you’d be willing to share? I’m looking to expand my lit tastes

Sure! Idk what kind of lit you mean so I’m extra & gunna do a ton of diff genres (hopefully this isn’t overwhelming. Srry if it is in advance I just love any excuse to geek over literature).

I’m mostly into poetry, & my all time favs are prob Wallace Stevens for “The Emperor of Ice Cream,” & Langston Hughes for “Let America Be America Again, “Mother to Son,” & literally just anything he’s written (he’s phenomenal).

I’m also a fan of Mary Oliver, C.D. Wright, Sabrina Benim (she’s very 20’s age relatable), Solmaz Sherif, Terrance Hayes, and Natalie Diaz. I’m starting to get into Thomas Merton for both poetry & nonfiction (but am still early in & reserving judgement)

I’m not great with nonfiction, but always rec the lit mag “Brevity” if you like powerful short stories.

For children’s lit (which I HIGHLY recommend reading as an adult, too) I’d rec Sharon Creech for “love that dog” & Norton Juster for “the phantom tollbooth”

I’ve been into the political essay lately/am currently reading “The Power of the Powerless” by Václav Havel which is interesting. So far I’d rec it if you’re into that type of thing.

For like, actual book authors I’d say maybe Gillian Flynn (known for “Gone Girl” and “Sharp Objects”), Zadie Smith, Alice Walker, Emily St John Mandel, and a (very) guilty pleasure is Hemingway (I kinda h8 myself for liking his writing style. Fuck him as a person though). It’s funny though bc “novels” are actually what I read the least of, generally so srry if that’s what u were looking for rip

Anyways...this spiraled into a random mish-mash of shit I’m into, hopefully u find something within this that sparks your interest. Good luck!

#literature recs #asks #long post #@ mutuals whom dont care thank u for dealin #can u tell i majored in english in college rip

On Womxn of Color Directing DC Theatre

As an artist, a feminist, and a Non-Binary Trans Womxn of Color Director and theatre artist working in the DC Metropolitan theatre scene, my experience working with Womxn of Color Directors has been very limited. My curiosity about the inclusion of womxn of color directors has led me to a little bit of research on the topic.

How many womxn of color have been nominated for the Helen Hayes Award in Directing and Music Direction since it’s beginning? How many womxn of color have won the Helen Hayes Award for Directing or Music Directing? Is there a lack of female directors being nominated? Is there a lack of directors of color being nominated? Or is this simply another example of the double hurdle womxn of color must jump over very often in order to receive recognition? How many womxn of color were actually given the opportunity to direct for the 2016-2017 season? Using HHA Nominees & Recipients advanced search options on TheatreWashington’s website, DCTheatreScene’s season reveal, and other online resources, I found some answers to these questions.

Since 1985, only three womxn of color have been nominated for the award for “Outstanding Director”. There have been zero womxn of color nominated for “Outstanding Musical Director”. In 1997, Marsha A. Jackson-Randolph was nominated for “Outstanding Director, Resident Musical” for Studio Theatre’s HIP 2: BIRTH OF THE BOOM. In 1999, Seret Scott was nominated for “Outstanding Director, Resident Play” for Studio Theatre’s THE OLD SETTLER. In 2004, Regina Taylor was nominated for “Outstanding Director, Resident Musical” for Arena Stage’s CROWNS, becoming the first and only womxn of color recipient of the honor. There have been zero Womxn of color who have been nominated for the Helen Hayes in Direction or Music Direction since Taylor’s win, including the 2017 Helen Hayes Awards.

(Photo Credit: Regina Taylor)

Non-POC (white) womxn have actively, though sparingly at times, been competitors in the Director categories since the inception of the Helen Hayes Awards in 1985 when four of the six nominees for “Outstanding Director, Resident Production” were non-POC womxn. In 1988, Zelda Fichandler became the first womxn to win the award. Several womxn have won since then including: Allison Arkell Stockman, Kasi Campbell, Yaël Farber, Mary Hall Surface, Marcia Milgrom, Toby Orenstein, Regina Taylor, Jane Wagner, Mary Zimmerman, and Joy Zinoman. Mollly Smith and Joy Zinoman have both been nominated 10 times for the award. The most nominated non-POC womxn for Director is Toby Orenstein, who has been nominated 11 times for the award.

For the 2017 Helen Hayes Awards, five non-POC womxn have been nominated for Musical Direction or Director of a Play or Musical. In the “ Outstanding Musical Direction-HELEN” category, Karen Hansen earns her 2nd Helen Hayes Nomination for her work in MOXIE: A HAPPENSTANCE VAUDEVILLE at Happenstance Theater. In the “Outstanding Director of a Play-HELEN Production” category, Sabrina Mandell earns her 4th Helen Hayes Nomination, her first in Direction, for her work in MOXIE: A HAPPENSTANCE VAUDEVILLE at Happenstance Theater. In the “Outstanding Director of a Play-HAYES Production” category, Joanie Schultz earns her first Helen Hayes Nomination for her work on HAND TO GOD at Studio Theatre. In the “Outstanding Direction, Musical-HAYES”, Molly Smith earns her 10th Helen Hayes Nomination for her work in CAROUSEL at Arena Stage. In the “Outstanding Direction, Musical-HELEN” category, Allison Arkell Stockman earns her 2nd Helen Hayes Nomination for her work on URINETOWN at Constellation Theatre Company. Of the 30 nominees in the 6 directing categories, only 5 of those nominated were non-POC womxn: 16% non-POC womxn, 81% men, and 3% non-POC Non-Binary Trans-masculine.

Men of Color have long been competitors in the Direction categories as well. In 1988, the first man of color to be nominated (and win) the award was Lloyd Richards for his work on Arena Stage’s JOE TURNER’S COME AND GONE. Since then, Richards has been nominated 2 more times, and won once more. Several other men of color have been nominated and have won as well, such as: Thomas W. Jones II, who has harnessed a total of 8 Directing Nominations and 2 wins; William Knowles who has received 5 nominations and one win; and Anderson Edwards & William F. Hubbard who have both been nominated and won once.

For the 2017 Helen Hayes Awards, two men of color have been nominated for “Outstanding Musical Direction-HAYES”: Darius Smith for his work on JELLY’S LAST JAM at Signature Theatre, and Markus Williams for his work on THE CHRISTIANS at Theater J; and one man of color was nominated for “Outstanding Direction, Play-HELEN”: Psalmayene 24 for his work on WORD BECOMES FLESH at Theater Alliance.

Of the 30 nominees in the 6 directing categories, only 3 of those nominated were men of color: 10% MOC, 90% non-MOC (including white men, white womxn, and white Non-Binary folx). (Additional note: Non-womxn Non-POC directors, José Luis Arellano Garcia and Will Davis, both made history as the first Spanish-speaking director and Non-Binary Trans-Masculine director, respectively, to win the award at the 2016 Helen Hayes Awards. They both received a 2nd nomination for the 2017 Helen Hayes Awards.)

It’s clear that womxn of color have not fared as well as non-POC womxn nor men of color in Direction. But why? Why have womxn of color not been able to achieve the amount of recognition that their non-female, non-POC peers have? Perhaps opportunities aren’t as readily available for womxn of color, and therefore the chances of being nominated are much lower.

Looking at the 2016-2017 season, it’s clear opportunities are not given to womxn of color.

Only 1 in every 6 DC professional theatre company gave an opportunity to womxn of color to direct this season.

Of over 300 shows this season, 15 are directed by 13 womxn of color.

Less than 5% of the productions this season were directed by womxn of color.

Those productions are: ************************************************************************************* 1st Stage - Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Directed by Deidra LaWan Starnes

************************************************************************************* Ally Theatre Company - Think Before You Holla Directed by Taylor Reynolds

************************************************************************************* Arena Stage - Smart People Directed by Seema Sueko

************************************************************************************* Avant Bard - The Gospel at Colonus Directed by Jennifer L. Nelson

************************************************************************************* Center Stage - Les Liaisons Dangereuses Directed by Hana S. Sharif

************************************************************************************* Center Stage - The White Snake Directed by Natsu Onoda Power

************************************************************************************* GALA Hispanic Theatre - Seneca: Library Mouse Directed by Cecilia Cackley

************************************************************************************* Kennedy Center - Debbie Allen's Freeze Frame Directed by Debbie Allen

************************************************************************************* Live Garra Theatre - A Matter of Perspective Directed by Wanda Whiteside

************************************************************************************* Mosaic Theatre - Milk Like Sugar Directed by Jennifer L. Nelson

************************************************************************************* Mosaic Theatre - Charm Directed by Natsu Onoda Power

************************************************************************************* Mosaic Theatre - A Human Being Died that Night Directed by Logan Vaughn

************************************************************************************* Shakespeare Theatre Company - Macbeth Directed by Liesl Tommy

************************************************************************************* Theatre Alliance - brownsville song (b-side for tray) Directed by Paige Hernandez

************************************************************************************* Theatre Alliance - Black Nativity Directed by Princess Mhoon

************************************************************************************* These thirteen successful, phenomenal womxn deserve our applause. They are an inspiration to all the womxn of color in our area who wish they could direct a professional theatre production, but simply don’t think it possible. Even those that know it is possible for them, it is a very nice sight to see someone representing for the black and brown girls.

It’s important for the DC Professional Theatres to support the diversification of the community. Artistic Directors can help by picking plays by diverse playwrights and hiring diverse directors for those productions. Diverse directors will in turn hire diverse actors and designers.

Providing opportunities for womxn of color to direct will bring forth a stronger community, and a wave of artistic resurgence. This goes without mentioning, inclusion of Transgender Womxn of Color in these theatre companies is specifically important. While it is sad that only 15 WOC had the opportunity to direct this season, it is further unfortunate that all of those womxn are not out trans womxn.

To all the black and brown girls: keep doing and improving your art. You are the present of DC theatre and you deserve to be heard.

Hopefully one day, many brilliant womxn of color could follow in the footsteps of Regina Taylor, break that barrier that prevents WOC directors from recognition, and win the esteemed award for our community once more.
