She’s back! The secret is out! The large, sold-out audiences that saw
Dottie S. Dixon in her stage premiere in May 2009 have demanded her
return. In conjunction with Pygmalion Theatre Company, The Passion of Sister Dottie S. Dixon-The Second Coming returns to the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center during the month of October 2009.
Playwrights Charles Lynn Frost and Troy Williams, and Pygmalion
producer Fran Pruyn indicate that since there has been such a call for
the play to return, it would be completely unfair should they not bring
it back as the opening production of Pygmalion’s 2009-10 season. “The
show was the most widely attended and talked about production we’ve
ever produced,” said Pruyn.
Frost and Williams found the collaborative effort with Pygmalion the
“perfect partnership” for initially bringing the show to the stage.
People from all walks of life attended the show in May; people from
diverse cultures, religions, ages, political leanings, sexual
orientations and genders. Both Frost and Williams agreed they “were
blown away by how different every single audience was.” As they talked
to audience members following each performance they pleasantly found a
blend of “gay, straight, Gen Y, X, boomers and most surprisingly older
Mormon women” who told them “the play spoke with truth and honesty, and
was not cynical or malicious; rather it was warm-hearted, compassionate
and relevant.”
What a great and marvelous weekend! The rain can’t dampen our gay spirits! In this week’s potcast I share my stories preparing fer Spanish Fork Pride. You can listen to it by clickin’ HERE. It was a grand and wonderful affair fer all 20 of us who gathered at The Villa Vista Reception Center. And of course, then I rushed upta Salt Lake ta interduce Paula Poundcake and pray at the Pride Rally. What a day! Now many of you have bin requested the full text of the prayer that I delivered Saturdee. Now we Marmons don’t believe in written prayers like The Cathleeks (except fer the one’s we give in Sacrament Meetin’, the Temple and over our suppers each night), but I thought it would be okay just this once.
Hereya go kid!
Dear God, Allah, Buddha, Shiva and Gilgamesh. Oh hear us Sophia, oh great Goddess of the Pagans, and Gaia the Earth Mother of Al Gore –
Isis, Madonna, and that Mary Magdeline from the Da Vinci Code. Hermes, Aphrodite and them patriarchal Gods of Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, and Christianism. The Great Spirit of the Native Tribes and the Heavenly Father of all we Marmons with ALL his wives.
