Theatre is about so much more than getting to tell your own story. I don’t hate preforming male written plays or working with male directors. But I’m ready to see more woman, POC, LBGTQ+, and folks from off our soil be welcomed into the story-making of our art.
I’m getting pretty tiered of singing songs written by men for men “for women”.
I had a professor in college tell me to stop singing songs about being a queer woman. That I could sing about something else.
I personally believe that along with many other topics it’s about time there was more than one well known musical written about a lesbian. Otherwise I’m going to have to start learning how to compose music.
