STAGE TUBE: New Promo for GayCo's #GODHATESHASHTAGS Declares #GodLovesTwerking
Through scenes and song, #GodHatesHashtags explores gay identity after hate, lesbian bar culture after the closing of T's, the sanctity of Cracker Barrel after being desecrated by homosexuals, the inanity of social media sex profiles, the corporatization of gay rights groups, and the twerk-tinged wisdom of disregarded LGBTQ youth. The production has revealed a new promo, titled '#GodLovesTwerking - check it out below!
Ultimately, what will happen to the gay community after #GayMarriage and #Equality are no longer trending topics? Probably lots of twerking.
#GodHatesHashtags previewed Saturday, Aug. 31 at 7:30pm at Donny's Skybox (1616 N. Wells) and opened Saturday Sept. 7 at 7:30pm. It runs Saturdays through Oct. 19. Tickets are $16 ($13 for students and $10 for Second City Training Center students) and can be purchased by calling 312-337-3992.
#GodHatesHashtags is written and performed by Kathy Betts, Christopher Lotito, Jamie Newland, Clay Goodpasture,John Loos, Alexandria Miller, Becca Levine and Robin Trevino. GayCo alumnus and Second City Writing Program Head Andy Eninger directs, with Michael Goldman and Charlie Worth providing musical direction and Aimee Davis assistant directing.
