For each production at TMT, we like to ask our cast and crew members a few questions, so we and you can get to know them better! Some questions are standard. Some are specific to the show these folks are working on. Some are biographical, some are philosophical, and some are completely off the wall! But all of these questions provide a little insight into the wonderful artists that make up our Magnetic community.
See what these colorful creatives have to say, then grab your tickets and come see them in New Queer’s Eve, opening this Friday, 12/1!!
Today we asked the ensemble: What’s an aspect of queer culture you enjoy?
Rachel Fralick | Performer
I love that there is more broad acknowledgement and communication about what makes a person unique, lovable, and desirable. When sexuality and gender binaries are removed, it broadens the spectrum on which we’re all able to appreciate each other for our individuality.
Luca Hinton | Performer
One of my favorite things about queer culture is the found family and mutual support. So many of us struggle with not having support in our bio families and rally around one another in a way I find to be beautiful.
Also, the fashion.
Adam Olson | Performer
Love, all the love, unabashed by shame.
Dwight Chiles | Director
The chosen family. Queers have had to create their own family structure from the beginning. We are good at it. It's one of our best qualities.
Dakota Mann | Stage Manager
I love the inclusivity and camaraderie that usually appears in the queer community.
Morgan Miller | Performer
The people!!!!
Jason Phillips | Lead Playwright
I think queer culture means many things to many people, but the thread that runs through it that appeals to me is the defiance. The fact that the very act of just being who you are meant to be can be an act of defiance to the norms.
Welp…I’m crying. Who’s going to finish writing this blog?!?!
Get your tickets to see queer love, joy, community, and life on The Magnetic stage!
