    We inspire art!

    Posted in Gay & Lesbian by Beth Greenfield on April 9th, 2009 at 2:23 pm

    488featfeatNext week’s Left Out ’09—a festival of LGBT solo performance —is chock-full of fun queer shows. But one in particular caught our attention: In Heat, written by Lisa Haas and starring Sally Sockwell. That’s because the comedic tale was inspired by a 2005 TONY cover story, “What’s in a Name?”

    The show is a riff on the feature, and has an old-school dyke discussing the rise of genderqueers, tranniefags and hasbians, and the imminent extinction of plain ol’ lesbians. We were psyched to attend a preview of the show—which we loved!—and to chat with Haas about, well, ourselves, and about being her muse.

    “I grew up in Colorado, really isolated, where it was a huge struggle to come out,” she told us. “I moved to New York in 1995, and every day was gay pride! But then this article came out, about hasbians, and transmen, and I was like, It’s over for me!” Haas added that she grew up in an era of lesbian and gay. Period. “And my emotional child is still there.”

    Don’t miss the show on Sat 18 at 3pm and April 26 at 8pm. And for now, check out this awesome sneak preview we filmed (which takes artistic liberties with the description of our story, by the way…):
