Let’s f**king go.
We haven’t talked enough about Andrew and their bold push back on the hypocrisy in theatre that led to their firing because of a past in s*x work.

Yet we romanticize stories like Les mis, Miss Saigon, moulin rouge, cabaret and guys and dolls as iconic “fun” and s*xy s*x workers. Be s*xy and commodify your body for the STORY and for the STAGE but not for your RENT and your LIVELIHOOD.

Theatres expect to exploit your body and your likeness and your talent, asking you to kiss or touch or be intimate with scene partners right from a callback read. They ask you to come in ready to dance and be s*xy; to show your body if the role “requires” it; and up until recently nudity on stage and simulated s*x was something the actor had no control over once they were cast and had no protections in place to navigate. Your body belonged to the director and their vision and the director was god.

How is that ANY different from s*x work in any capacity, from only fans content with hair brushing to selling foot pictures to stripping and p**n?

This is a binary not a spectrum. There’s no way to dismiss or accept a moving line in someone’s past—it’s okay if you played a stripper in a show and took off your clothes but not okay if you stripped in a club and took off your clothes. And this nation is moving fast into authoritarian prudishness and controlled purity in a way that should be alarming to EVERYONE.

We support s*x workers because we support s*x and relationships and bodies on stage—so we support them off stage too. We support people paying their rent and their tuition and being able to eat with the resources they have.

Words to live by from Adele: I’ll do what the f**k I want from now on. Why should I put myself through any of this anymore after what I been through?

Preach mother.

So let me be all the way real. Big casting calls that gatekeep by charging participants? Not our style when we’re about equitable access.

Making you come somewhere that costs you money and time or doesn’t have access via public transportation? Not our style.

Big auditions and open calls unfairly prioritize people with experience who’ve had access to expensive youth theatre programs, college education and private lessons. That ease in front of a panel? Only comes with practice and if you can’t GET there often enough and you can’t take the time off of work often enough and you don’t feel comfortable in the room because you’re the only person who looks like you anywhere in the building…how do we bridge that gap for you?

What I try to do as artistic director is see a metric s**t ton of independent theatre south of the 8, particularly bipoc and lgbtqia+ theatre, so I can see you AT WORK. Thriving. Where you don’t need to overcome your nerves because you’re already showing me the best you have to bring to the table.

I want to precast you in all our stuff! I want to tell you how great you are! But fam how can I find you when you have no social media?? Or your socials don’t match the name you use in the program?

I’m not the only artistic director I see when I go see stuff at the black artists collective or Camino 23 or southwestern college or teatro magica or or or. Lots of us are there, watching.

Make it easy for us to go from watching to casting you ❤️❤️❤️

Open call for our October show coming up this weekend—watch for our season announcement to drop! Can’t wait to see what you’re bringing!
