#4.5 Meghan & Harrow Return to the Shubert

Hosts Harrow and Meghan discuss Some Like It Hot and White Girl in Danger. Hear the response from Meghan on the representation(s) of her namesake (but not her spelling) and thoughts on how queerness, gender, race, and identity are represented in these two very different productions. It’s also time for Pride and there are many queer festivals, shows, and actions to take in June to support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community!
