Si se puede! Today we are celebrating Real Women Have Curves with the fabulously funny lesbian comic icon, Sandra Valls, who is making her Broadway debut at 59 years old in this heartwarming musical. Listen to Sarah and Sandra chat about this incredible musical, queer representation, body positivity, and making your dreams come true.

Sandra Valls is a comic, actor, singer, writer, and badass. She is a funny, high energy, smart, outspoken Latina, best known for her powerful, electric, stand up comedy performances in Showtime’s, THE LATIN DIVAS OF COMEDY (nominated for Alma Award) and PRIDE: LGBT COMEDY SLAM! Her unique mix of physical comedy and brilliant story telling make it easy to see why the Los Angeles Times calls Sandra “Talented and Hilarious”. Curve Magazine included her on their Power List as One of the Most Influential Queer Women and One of the Top 10 Funniest Lesbian Comics in the country . Latina Magazine voted Sandra One of the Top 33 Bad Ass Comics with Latin Roots and Go Magazine named Sandra One of the Top 100 Women We Love.

"Think of the magic that you can create!" Inspiring words from Rob Madge's triumphant and hilarious celebration of identity, creativity, and the profound bond between parents and their child.

As a child, Rob filled their home with grand performances, transforming into Mary Poppins, Ariel, and Belle with the help of homemade costumes, boundless imagination, and a little technical assistance (and occasional interference) from Dad. Their parents never said no—to a parade in the living room, to a costume change mid-scene, to a dream too big for the space it was staged in.

Now, through a treasure trove of home videos and theatrical magic, My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) brings those moments to life, celebrating the power of childhood imagination, and the profound impact of parents who simply say “yes.”

A week before the High Holidays, three rabbis find themselves in a room fighting to save a family by building a bridge between orthodoxy and modernity. One of these rabbis is Chava, the child of a dynastic Hasidic rabbinical family and destined to become a leader of the next generation before the revelation of her trans identity clashed explosively with the strictly gendered world in which she was raised. As we jump through memory—and wrestle with theology—truths and secrets emerge that ensure no one will read the old stories the same way again.

Sarah chats with playwright, Emil Weinstein about this exciting new play, Becoming Eve.

EMIL WEINSTEIN (Playwright) is a writer and director whose work spans theater, television, and filmmaking. He graduated from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, where he directed the first workshop production of Slave Play by Jeremy O. Harris. His productions as a theater director include Twelfth Night and Romeo & Juliet at Two River Theater, Comedy of Errors and As You Like It (upcoming) at the Old Globe, and developmental work with EnGarde Arts, Rattlestick Theater, Shakespeare and Company, and New York Theatre Workshop. For television, Emil worked as a staff writer on Amazon’s “A League of Their Own,” and directed four episodes for the final season of “The L Word Generation Q” for Showtime. His short films “Candace” and “In France Michelle is a Man’s Name” played at festivals around the world, winning multiple awards including two Academy Award Qualifying Grand Jury Prizes. Becoming Eve is Emil’s Off-Broadway playwriting debut. Emil is a transgender man and uses he/him pronouns.

LIVE from the Rainbow Carpet at Joe's Pub- Sarah is interviewing the performers, writers, and VIP guests at Queering the Canon: A Retrospective, a gala to benefit Ring of Keys.

Ring of Keys is an artist service organization that promotes and fosters community and visibility

for musical theatre artists - onstage and off - who identify as queer women, transgender, and

nonbinary artists. We strive to create a vibrant and diverse musical theatre landscape.

Ring of Keys, established in 2018 in New York City, was created to counter the lack of

parity and opportunity in musical theatre for queer women, transgender, and nonbinary artists, as well as the broader LGBTQIA+ community's absence from significant representation. Founders Andrea Prestinario and Royer Bockus launched the organization to transform an

industry that accepts gay-representation as sufficient queer-representation in our field.
