Extended Info
About: We believe a radical new approach to the representation of "queerness" is called for - one that embraces a spectrum of relationships and identities. We propose a definition of queerness that serves as a metaphor for ALL those who stand outside of, challenge or reject mainstream, consumerist models. This is the community for whom we make our work - gay and straight.

Will We Blow It?
It’s going to be a bad century. You’re a god, seeking one “good person” to improve the odds for mankind. Do you choose:
a) A kindly but assassinated pharmacist
b) His uncouth, non-toilet-trained mother
c) A set of deaf triplets who may be the next master race
d) With choice like these, humanity is f-cked!...
Answers will be revealed on:
Saturday, June 6 at 3 p.m.
Tuesday, June 16 at 8 p.m.
Friday, June 19 at 9:30 p.m.
Thursday, June 25 at 9:30 p.m.

Theatre Askew
Join us as we give PS 122's oldest and much-loved endeavor a decidedly lavender makeover with works from lesbian, gay, transgender, and even a few straight playwrights, choreographers, musicians, and solo performers.
Drawing from across the rainbow spectrum of LGBT culture, we will feature dance inspired by Margaret Cho... and the notorious Alphabet City after-hours club Save the Robots, trannie dominatrices, rock 'n' roll opera and severed heads. Throw in Askew favorites Bianca Leigh and Everett Quinton as hosts, and it's guaranteed to get your sap flowing this May.

Theatre Askew
CORNBURY: THE QUEEN'S GOVERNOR relates the legendary tale of Edward Hyde, the British governor of colonial New York who is now remembered primarily for his rumored habit of dressing as his first cousin, Queen Anne.
With wit, beautiful language, and lots of heart, this riotous historical romp raises important questions a...bout the early days of New York, and the nature of American society.
Co-written by Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize nominee William M. Hoffman (As, Is; Ghosts of Versailles) and Anthony Holland, Cornbury features downtown theater legends David Greenspan and Everett Quinton together on stage for the first time.
