Theatre
events at OutArt
2000 will feature the
premiere of another original theatre piece written especially for the OutArt Gay
and Lesbian Arts festival...
Tails From The Closet II
A Comical Orgy of the GLBT Life
|
The play
is a collection of comical skits that takes a humorous look at the GLBT
life. Tails From The Closet was put together by a group of Oklahoma
writers including Robert Matson, Timothy Stewart, Amy West, and David
Rudnick.
Among the
returning favorites are the battling sperm, the life-sized fruit people, a
lesbian's coming out party in the Southern tradition, a therapy session
for supposed "gay" animated characters and a visit to gay
hell.
New skits
including an absurd look at gays and lesbians in the army,
a campy outing into the woods with the Boy Scouts, a legion of transgender
superheroes, a rousing game of bouncing bi-sexuals, a senior citizen's
comical jump out of the closet, and much more.

play is like one big gay variety show," says Robert Matson, director,
"and it just gives everyone a chance to laugh at the way the world
looks at the GLBT life."
