Prairie Rainbow Review

HOUSE OF GUINNESS from Netflix is a new favorite series of ours. It has the costume drama that Lee loves, and the zip and biff bang pow that Brett does. It is well acted, well paced, and well designed. You can hear us rave about it right here!  

Michael Locher is Alley Theatre's Director of Design, and in this episode, Brett talks to him about the impressive work he did with THE DA VINCI CODE. The show closes on October 19th, and this interview ran on BROADWAY WORLD and also on the KPFT program QUEER VOICES, but here it is unedited. If you saw the show at the Alley, this is an interesting glimpse into what goes on with their design. And trust me, THE DA VINCI CODE proved that the Alley's design is AWE-INSPIRING! 

Richard Watson is a great friend of ours, and he has an amazing history. Lee talks to him about growing up and coming out in rural Mississippi and New Orleans. He gains perspective from Richard on what life was like for him as he grew up, and Richard offers advice to current young people. It's a fascinating piece of history! 

One night, Lee proclaimed, "Diana Ross, the iconic beauty of our time!" He asked Brett if he could think of another, and that led us down a rabbit hole about beauty and iconic women.  And somehow, all of this ends up being our gayest episdoe ever!"  

Brett talks to Lee about how to age well - exercises, sleep, diet, and social. Lee is much older than anyone would guess, and he is a great model for how to age gracefully and in great shape along the way. So it's an interesting discussion for anyone interested in how to fend off Father Time. 

Brett interviews Rhett Martinez, who is directing THE LAST YIDDISH SPEAKER for Mildred's Umbrella at the Jewish Community Center. The play imagines a world where the January 6th insurrectionists won that day and overthrew the government with a right-wing, super-Christian slant. It runs at the Evelyn Rubenstein JCC September 4-14, 2025. Starring: Deborah Hope, Jason Duga, Olivia Knight, and Austin Brady.

Lee and Brett are DEXTER fans, and we really loved RESURRECTION. It was a fun ride, so we talk about it. From Uma Thurman to Peter Dinklage, and of course, Michael C. Hall. Come join us in our love for THE BAY HARBOR BUTCHER!  

Ivan Moreno is currently starring as Luis Carruthers in Houston Broadway Theatre's production of AMERICAN PSYCHO. We talk about his unique take on the role, recreating Luis as a closeted corporate guy who wants to cloak both his sexual and racial identity. Ivan is a classically trained singer with an opera background. It will be amazing to hear him in this show!

WARNING: some language is for adults! Although your kids already know this word.  

Lee and Brett discuss what happens to your stuff when you die, particularly the stuff that NOBODY WANTS! It all came about from handling four estates in the last several years, and reading this book by Messie Condo called NOBODY WANTS YOUR SH*T. Hopefully, here is some practical advice on how to handle things.
