Edith Can Shoot Things And Hit Them with Nick Bussett and A. Rey Pamatmat
Manage episode 366565472 series 3324856
Queer kids have to grow up so fast to protect ourselves.
Our guest todays are Nick Bussett and A. Rey Pamatmat!
Nick is the co-host of Gay Talk 2.0 and the Director of Development at the Shubert Theatre. Rey is an award winning playwright and writer. He is a GLAAD and Lambda nominee and the co-Director of the Ma-Yi Writers Lab.
We’re talking about the play that saved Nick's life: Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them by A. Rey Pamatmat.
Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them is about three kids - Kenny, his sister Edith, and their friend Benji – who are all but abandoned on a farm in remotest Middle America. With little adult supervision, they feed and care for each other, making up the rules as they go.
We’re going to talk about seeing yourself represented on stage for the first time, having too grow up to fast, and rebuilding relationships with our family.
