more PASSING STRANGE

Fingers crossed for Passing Strange to win lots of Tony Awards on June 15th! If the Interstitial Arts Foundation had an award for Interstitial Theater, I'd vote for it.

NYTimes review uses classic "if only the word 'interstitial' were in common use for arts reviewers" language: “Call it a rock concert with a story to tell, trimmed with a lot of great jokes. Or call it a sprawling work of performance art, complete with angry rants and scary drag queens. Call it whatever you want, really. I’ll just call it wonderful….The story of a young man achingly out of place in the world, trying on poses and assuming new guises in his quest for an identity that, as he will ultimately learn, many artists can only find in their art.”

Kinda like Bordertown, actually. Maybe that's why I love it so much!

Discount tix are available at TDF, BroadwayBox.com and day-of-show for Under 25's. The website has cool stuff, including some of the music. And there's an album coming eventually....

My Wiscon Schedule

( Ellen's Embarrassingly Lengthy Schedule of Wiscon Panels, Readings & Presentations. )

I'll also be at the Gathering on Friday helping people find their True Clothes at the Swap (which Delia & I originated when we were GoHs - so glad it's continued thanks to other folks' enthusiasm & energy!) . . . and interested parties are invited to an Interstitial Arts introductory get-together on Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. (place To Be Determined, probably Michelangelo's).

. . . And, Yes, you can buy me a drink.

Indeed, I insist.
