Pride Month: John Fisher, Theatre Rhinoceros and “The Doodler”


Listen Later

John Fisher, Artistic Director of Theatre Rhino, and writer/performer/co-director of “The Doodler,” now at The Marsh in San Francisco through July 6, 2025, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky.

Theatre Rhino is the longest running LGBTQ+ theatre company in America, and John Fisher has been its Artistic Director since 2002. His show, “The Doodler” concerns a serial killer off gay men in the mid-1970s in San Francisco and is based on an actual case in which a  young man would approach gay men in a bar with a drawing, a doodle, he’d made of them, and then invite them to a secluded location. Between six and thirteen men were killed. It’s a true-crime story that also involves police indifference and homophobia.

In this interview, John Fisher discusses how he came to work on the piece, the history behind it, and Rhino’s upcoming show, “The Laramie Project.”
