What is this?
This is a musical – more satire than polemic, more fiction than journalism – poking gentle fun at all parties involved, but especially skewering the right-wing fundamentalists. The show is in production for June 6-8, 2025, at the Wood Theater in Downtown Glens Falls.
From feedback from the public reading, Trans comedian Jaye McBride and a trans-woman clerk who lived through it all, the script has been polished and edited, two new songs have been written and potentially offensive material removed, yielding: Draft 7!
BwhoUR! is still the theme of this family friendly show, an uplifting message for straight and gay audiences alike, and a necessary antidote to today’s escalating culture wars.
