Lortel Awards

I am so amazed by how many folks from around the world get to see my play. Last night I met a couple from Australia who made my show a "must see" part of their trip. Also a couple from England last night.

Our "Non-traditional family night" went great last night. More and more stay for the talk back. Last night a "Mormon" couple came from Florida. He is gay. They are working out their relationship. Each couple must negotiate their own "Brokeback" marriages.

Emmett Foster joins me for the talk-back next week. He did his "One-Mormon Show" at the Public Theatre years ago. Then the next week we have Rich Merrit of "Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star".

We are into our FINAL WEEKS!!!! So get your tickets now before we close and go out on tour!

Met Jr. Vasquez at GLAAD media awards. He's pinning down a time to see the show. I'm so inspired by his sobriety.

The Lortel Awards eliminated the "solo show" category this year (if you happened to see the nominations today). Looks like our $400 application fee didn't get us the nomination we were hoping for. Perhaps our Off-Broadway production just wasn't "non-profit" enough for these awards. How can they eliminate a category and keep our money? (The application fee for the Pulitzer Prize is only $50!) It's hard to believe that there wasn't a single solo show this year in New York to warrant the category... Things get so political. I'm confused by all of these "not-for-profits" that POSE as commercial theatre on and off Broadway. If a not-for-profit meddles in commercial theatre, it makes perfect sense that the not-for-profit Mormon Church (and others) should continue to meddle in politics. As I say in my show, the Mormon Church is a "socio-economic-political-tax-exempt-multi-national corporation posing as the Kingdom of God on earth." We've got a bunch of not-for-profit theatres here in New York posing as commercial ventures and then nominating themselves. Perhaps we should just be socialized theatre like Europe. Then we can just swallow the hollow art that so many non-profit theatre professionals want to dish out. Hollow art and hollow religion. That's the American way. And afterall, I am THE Mormon American Princess...
