ASCH: Do you know what a minyan is? It's ten Jews in a circle accusing each other of anti-Semitism.

genuinely one of the most interesting openings to a play I have ever read, even though I don’t remember much about the play proper this imagery always stuck with me

"How They Learned to Drive. And Why They're Driving Again." (New York Times, 2020)

I read this quote from Paula Vogel a while ago and it's stuck with me ever since!

Image description: A quote from Paula Vogel which reads, "Three things that I want to talk about. One was a promise to my mother, who read it. To say that her health was fragile is putting it mildly. She asked that I not say that it was autobiographical. The other thing is that whenever women write autobiographically, we are told that we are confessional. No one says that about Sam Shepard, or David Mamet, or Eugene O'Neill. Third thing was there's a myth, and it's I think a very perilous myth, that the reason that women become lesbians is because of sexual trauma, a fear and a hatred of men. The last thing I'm going to do is get put into that category. Now I'm 68, man; I'm in the grandmother category. So say whatever you will."

Indecent, Paula Vogel

Image ID: screenshot excerpts from the script for “Indecent” by Paula Vogel

Image 1: FROM ASHES THEY RISE

The troupe rises and shakes off their dust.

Lemml steps on the platform.

Image 2: “My name is Lemmel; you can also call me Lou. I’m the stage manager tonight -- usually, you can find me backstage. We have a story we want to tell you . . . About a play. A play that changed my life. Every night we tell this story -- but somehow I can never remember the end. (He indicates his mind is failing. He turns to the others for help. No one can) No matter. I remember how it begins. It all starts with this moment -- remember this:

(Lemml gestures to two women of the troupe, holding each other, and then the troupe explodes in joyous klezmer song and dance.)

Image 3: A BLINK IN TIME

Image 4: LEMMEL CLOSES HIS EYES. HE MAKES A WISH.

Lemml: (Softly): Please, don’t let this be the ending. . .

IN HIS MIND, ONLY HE CAN SEE...

RIFKELE AND MANKE BURST OUT OF THE LINE.

THEY ESCAPE.

LEMML OPENS HIS EYES.

ASHES TO ASHES: THE TROUPE RETURNS TO DUST

florida makes me want to kill myself

if you're unaware or curious; this school, douglas anderson, had a play that was gonna happen but got cancelled due to "inappropriate content" or some shit like that.

i use to go there, so this is important to me.

the play is called "Indecent" by Paula Vogel, and from what I know it includes a lesbian kiss and jewish representation.

but for some reason it's cancelled.

mostly because of the "don't say gay" bill. which is fucking insane. i absolutely can't believe this shit, but guess what, THAT'S FLORIDA FOR YOU

they're changing the play to something more "appropriate" to make it more "suitable for audiences".

they changed it because of "mature" content.

a lesbian kiss? sure.

it just infuriates me to see shit like this. i'm fucking pissed. please share, reblog, whatever just get the word out

#i had to let it out #if you need any questions or just wanna get some resources do ask #i want to get the word out there #spread the word #im speaking #don't say gay #indecent #paula vogel #indecent play #douglas anderson #florida

"Indecent" at San Francisco Playhouse

Go. That would be my one word review. Because you don't want to miss this incredibly theatrical, moving, funny, heart-breaking, important play, currently staged in an equally incredible production directed by the very talented Susi Damilano.

My full review can be found at TalkinBroadway.

‘Company,’ ‘The Lehman Trilogy’ winning big at Tony Awards

NEW YORK — A gender-swapped revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Company” rode the fondness Broadway has for the late iconic composer by earning five statuettes, including best musical revival. “The Lehman Trilogy” was crowned best new play. “Company” is an exploration of a single person’s conflicted feelings about commitment, traditionally focusing on a 35-year-old bachelor. This time, it had a…
