White Rainbows

White Rainbows

My friend Matt, previously known as Matt Blender, has written a gay sketch comedy show called White Rainbows Presents: White Rainbows. It is running every Saturday in July at Gorilla Tango Theater in Chicago. If any of y'all are in or are gonna be in Chicago this month, go see it! (It's only $10!)

From the press release:

Queer culture has entered the mainstream. Movies like Brokeback Mountain and Milk earn Oscar nominations. Numerous out celebrities like Ellen Degeneres and Neil Patrick Harris enjoy successful careers.

Despite this increased queer visibility, the gay marriage debate rages on. WHITE RAINBOWS PRESENTS: WHITE RAINBOWS explores, through humor, what it is like to be part of a subculture that America both glorifies and vilifies.

Matt's been working his tail off for months to make this happen. I'm very proud of him.

Comments

YAY Matt! As the mother of another up-and-coming writer who I hope will one day get her sketch comedies to the stage...I can't help but be very proud of your friend too!
