Interview: NINA WEST of A DRAG QUEEN CHRISTMAS at MURRAY & PETER PRESENTS
I think I was a kid who really wanted to do theater, and I didn't have the theatrical opportunities in front of me to do that. I went to college for theater. I have a degree in theater. I didn't move to New York City like I wanted to because of 9/11. I had to create my own opportunity. And that's ki...

Interview: Sherry Vine of THE SHERRY VINE SHOW! at OUT TV
Well, I have no idea where Sherry came from. I just remember my roommate at the time was doing my wig. He did the makeup; he styled me. He did everything. I did nothing, and I just looked in the mirror. I was like. Oh, she looks like a “Sherry.”...
Interview: Katerina McCrimmon of FUNNY GIRL at BROADWAY AT THE HOBBY CENTER
You know, I think what really worked for me is that I didn't have much knowledge of FUNNY GIRL. I saw the movie once when I was a teenager, and funny enough, my boyfriend and I were on vacation with his family when his mom told me that I would play Fanny Brice!...

Interview: LOGAN VADEN talks about THE COLOR PURPLE at THE GARDEN THEATRE

Interview: Forest VanDyke of THE LION KING at BROADWAY AT THE HOBBY CENTER
And actually, our director, Keith Bennett, was Banzai for about twenty years before I arrived, and was so great!

Interview: Greg Kalafatas of HAIRSPRAY at BROADWAY AT THE HOBBY CENTER
There's this obvious fantasy of the character in that we're in mid-century pinks and blues and teals and aquamarines and this whole color palette and it's a musical, and it's songs, and it's a man dressed up as a woman. But the thing the reality is that Edna turns out as a woman, and you're playing ...

Interview: Eboni Bell Darcy of OTHELLO THE REMIX at Stages Houston
It is Shakespeare's classic tragedy. Othello Retold through a hip-hop lens and so it is constant beats being spun by DJ who is present the entire time. And and the rhyme being done on top of that consistently in rhythm, just like all of Shakespeare's work was in that iambic pentameter....
Interview: VARLA JEAN MERMAN of STAND BY YOUR DRAG at MATCH
I live in Florida, and I love Florida; Florida has amazing people and an amazing LGBTQ community, but, as you know, the government really isn't on our side there.

Interview: WALT ZIPPRIAN of CLEANSED at CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
What drew me to the show was what drew me to the work that Catastrophic Theatre does in general. They do work that nobody else does. Work that's largely unexplored in our region, or in our country, or whatever. I'm drawn to that kind of stuff, and Sarah Kane has a unique view of love and human relat...
Interview: ELLA PEREZ of THE CHER SHOW at THEATRE UNDER THE STARS
I think the biggest thing I wanted to focus on was not making it like a character and not making it like some tasteless impression. Because I don't know. It's not necessarily what the show is about, and the three of us do a really good job of “a hint of Cher.” But there's still us!...
