bam. proof that kids raised by gays don't come out any worse whatsoever. stick that in your pipe and smoke it, homophobes.
so maybe this would be clique-y and obnoxious, but I don't care.
I want my cast to have t-shirts.
on the front it would say: GENDER
on the back it would say: FUCKER
and they would wear them for the opening of the show and it would be amazing.
also: have been thinking about the posters. I want to have 3 or 4 different posters, kind of like we did for 18 to 21. each one would be of 3-4 of the cast members, in costume, in all their gender-fucking glory, each holding up a sign with one word of the title on it (but incorporating different levels and stuff, not all just in a line). and THEN I thought, what if we did a whole genderfuck photo shoot with the cast and made a Case Gallery exhibit out of it? so I emailed Maggie to ask her if she was interested in taking photos for me, and she said sure. I think that, if it works out, it will be awesome-amazing. potentially a lot of work but if we schedule it far enough in advance, it'll work.
I need to figure out exactly what I'm doing for callbacks. grumble. I DO know that the "1, 2, 3, 4, gesture, gesture, gesture, gesture, FREEZE, 2, 3, 4, walk, 6, 7, 8" exercise of Josh Chambers fame will be a part of it. but doing it as different gendered stereotypes: first the men as men and women as women, and then with men as women and women as men. also have some sides I can use that may or may not even be used in the final show. beyond that, though, I reeeeeeally need to figure out stuff for each individual stereotype. particularly "Tranny," "Chauvinist Pig" and "Fence-Sitter."
