Oh. My. Word. Meet the cast of next month’s workshop! And while you’re at it, somebody call the fire marshal, because we’re about to burn this motherf*cker to the ground. ❤️‍🔥 UNTITLED LYSISTRATA WORKSHOP Co-Presented by @coinandghost &
@lalgbtcenter A regional theater near collapse sells its soul to a corporate tech company in exchange for a Digital Innovation & Equity grant. To secure the loot – and buy instant “authenticity” – the theatre hires a cast of Queer and Trans sex workers to perform a live-streamed, AI-integrated adaptation of the classic Greek play, LYSISTRATA. When rehearsal footage leaks, sensitive information is exposed about the lead actor, and the play’s classic sex strike stops being just a script and gets real as hell. Roger Q. Mason’s radical new exploration of Lysistrata is a metatheatrical examination of data protection, the dangers of performative liberalism, and the radical decision to log off from our extractive world. Written by @rogerq.mason Directed by @thespomancer Starring @dsimonejo, @milasrozo, @clubrylie, @kacie.rogers, @dannycron, @lefty.the.clown, and @baca.desu Assistant Director: @ordinarylarry_ Writer’s Assistant: @xanderthegreat01 Production Manager: @stillrix

GUESS WHO’S BACK IN THE HOOUUUSE? 🫦 This November, C&G hits the stage with our latest work-in-progress: a workshop staged reading of Roger Q. Mason’s UNTITLED LYSISTRATA PROJECT, directed by Carly DW Bones and co-presented with @lalgbtcenter! About this bad motherf*cker of a show: A regional theater near collapse sells its soul to a corporate tech company in exchange for a Digital Innovation & Equity grant. To secure the loot – and buy instant “authenticity” – a theatre admin hires a self-important male director to stage a live-streamed, AI-integrated adaptation of the classic Greek play, LYSISTRATA, that centers Queer and Trans sex workers. When rehearsal footage leaks, sensitive information is exposed about the lead actor, and the classic sex strike stops being just a script and gets real as hell. This new exploration of LYSISTRATA is a metatheatrical examination of data protection, the dangers of performative liberalism, and the radical decision to log off from our extractive world. Friday Nov. 6th at the Renberg Theatre (Los Angeles LGBT Center). Cast announcement coming soon, link in bio for tickets! LET’S GET WEIRD. 🫦 Photos by @teolindostudio from our 2024 devising workshop, hosted by @pasadenaplayhouse
