Remember Max, the trans teenager kicked out of his TX school's production of "Oklahoma!"?
His town and classmates protested to have him back--opening night was a hit!
Like, Joe Uchill - what am I going to do with that? Be a refrigerator? Meanwhile Max Hightower just became the first person to dunk a basketball in the Mariana Trench.
Great sidekick name. You slouch in the corner always wearing shades and greet those that look your way with a slight mood of the head as you lazily flip through niche hobbyist magazines.
A man in my building was telling me about a gay theater company down the road, then sort of backpedaled and said "Well, it's not ALL just gay interests, it does other theater as well."
I replied, "I've been in the arts. If there's a specifically STRAIGHT theater company, it's probably no good."
If anything, this play was conservative. All the boy parts were played by boys. Normally there's at least a few girls subbing in to cover the 40 parts for boys that only have 12 boys in theater to play them.
Remember when studios chose to shut down production for six months rather than negotiate to end the strikes?
This weekend's box office total is down 19% from 2023. No new movies in the top 5 for two weekends running.

Hey, TX...we're going to point to this as good news involving Oklahoma.
Cool? Cool.
We could use every little bit of good OK news we can get, no matter how tangential or tenuous.
This is so ridiculous. People of all different genders are cast in roles all the time. I'm happy with the outcome, but this should never have been an issue in the first place
I think casting should be race and gender blind in all public school production. By default it usually is in grade school productions, since the role has to go to someone the teacher believes can learn the lines.
