Whether creating Broadway musicals, experimental dramas, or outrageous comedies, the performers, directors, playwrights, designers, and producers profiled in this collection have contributed to the representation of LGBTQ lives and culture in a variety of theatrical venues, both within the queer community and across the US theatrical landscape.
Moving from the era of the Stonewall Riots to today, notable scholars in the field bring a wide variety of queer theatre artists into conversation with each other, exploring connections and differences in race, gender, physical ability, national origin, class, generation, aesthetic modes, and political goals, creating a diverse and inclusive study of 50 years of queer theatre.
For readers seeking an introduction to or a deeper understanding of LGBTQ theatre, this volume offers thought-provoking analyses of theatre-makers both celebrated and lesser-known, mainstream and subversive, canonical and new.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"In this compendium of elegantly crafted essays from leading and emerging voices in queer theater and performance studies, Noriega and Schildcrout have assembled a rich and diverse survey of queer theater makers in the half-century since Stonewall. An informative read and immensely useful resource for scholars and practitioners of the queer stage alike." - Joshua Chambers-Letson, Northwestern University, USA.
