We have three delightful guests straight from Open Fist Theatre Company visiting the Gayborhood to discuss their fantastic play The Soldier Dreams! Conor Lane, Ethan Niven, and David Shofner join us to discuss the "phoenix rising from the ashes" experience that is returning to the West Coast premiere of Daniel MacIvor's daring gay romance after an era of pandemic. We hear all about their unique years-long rehearsal process, their paths to acting, and some powerful anecdotes about the importance of education - even if it's learning what not to do! The Soldier Dreams plays at Los Angeles' Open Fist Theatre Company until December 12, 2021, and go on Instagram to follow Open Fist at @openfisttheatrecompany to get all the info about how to see Conor, Ethan, and David's wonderful performances. Plus, learn everything you can about the folx highlighted in this week's Gayborhood Watch: the iconic Miranda Priestley, Conor's former teacher Father G, the stars of We're Here, Crush by Richard Siken, author and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz, Bill Gunn of Ganja & Hess, horror mastermind Clive Barker, and casting director Mark Bennett (David's amazing husband, and it's a treat to hear David speak so movingly about their marriage!).
