I carefully researched, reconstructed, and analyzed a 1970 theater opera adaptation of Carmilla by two gay men. I was able to piece together what a performance would have looked like based on the cast recording, notes from the music director, and numerous photographs posted on the theater website, among other things.

The Tragedy of Harvey Milk

It’s more than likely that I would have done a post on Harvey Milk (1930-1978) eventually anyway, but a few weeks ago I was reminded of something that pushed it to the top of the agenda: he had downtown theatre street cred. Those who know the arc of Milk’s life know that he started out as a pretty square guy. To me that’s always been the key to his character and one of the most fascinating parts…

Prisoner at the World’s End - Theatre Review

The women quibble about their famous inmate in High Security. Is he a hero, a victim, or simply a master manipulator?

Prisoner at the World’s End is a Kafkaesque imagining arising out of the grim and grotesque circumstances of Julian Assange’s imprisonment. In 2010, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange published a series of leaks from a US Army intelligence analyst, which got the Aussie into a lot of trouble (eventually charged with espionage). After being accused of sexual offences in Sweden, Assange sought asylum…

Sad passing of a gay theatre pioneer. Wish I had an opportunity to meet him.

NYTimes: “(The Haunted Host) was so much before its time,” Mr. Fierstein said in a phone interview. “Here you have a play where the strange person, the bizarre person, the person who was the antagonist, was the heterosexual. The normal person, the one with real emotion and real love, was the gay character. We forget our history, and now we have people who want to erase our history. This is why Robert’s work is so important.”

(Times) For a while, Mr. Patrick was known, perhaps a bit hyperbolically, as the world’s most produced playwright, with his work performed at small theaters in Minneapolis, Toronto, Vienna, Brazil and New Zealand, often all at the same time. In 1978, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported, “Certain works, such as ‘Kennedy’s Children’ and ‘Camera Obscura,’ are quite probably being done somewhere every day of the year.”

In 2014, Henrik Eger of The Seattle Gay News asked Mr. Patrick if there was anything he hadn’t yet done but wished he had.

“True love,” he said. “And I would like to have the money to build or buy a theater in L.A. with enough ground space that I could call it Robert Patrick’s Free Parking Theater, because in L.A. the theater would fill up for every performance no matter what show was on, just because of the magic words ‘Free Parking.’ Then I could do whatever plays I liked.”

So… she's single?

Steph and Ellie are in the library working on a project together when Steph decides she has to ask now or she won't get a chance with vacation right around the corner.

Before Steph can ask her question, a girl, perhaps a couple of years older than them, greets them before heading to the counter where Barbara is.

steph: (still distracted watching the girl heading to the counter) "I have a crush on your sister." ellie: (proceeds to shudder) that's my mom.- steph: (blinks a couple of times) So… she's single?

“My journey has been very free. I’ve been able to work in different parts of the world and on projects that don’t necessarily obey a typical journey of a person that wants to be famous or work in film. I want young actors to know you don’t have to follow a set line to have a career. Sometimes the line is drawn for actors from the English language. But in my case I can reinvent myself all the time.” — Gael García Bernal (Total Film, 07/2021)
