Hey everyone! We’re currently hard at work on our third show. We have two great new cast mates joining our ensemble: Heather Dean and Michael Barin. We also have an awesome new director, Cassie Soliday.

We’ll be performing in Andersonville at The Call the first four weeks in October on Friday and Saturday nights at 8. This show is going to be the best one yet and I am so excited to be creating with my fellow White Rainbows again.

We have some other exciting announcements coming up soon so keep checking this blog!

White Rainbows will be a part of Queergasm this Friday at 8 pm at Winston Cafe (5001 N. Clark St.). Queergasm is a queer cabaret show and it’s part of Northwestern University’s Queer Pride Graduate Student Association’s annual Queertopia event. We’ll be doing an abridged set from In Gaga We Trust, so if you somehow managed to miss our last show this might be your last chance!

I Was So Excited I Ripped the Crotch of my Pants

mattutter — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 18:26:10 +0000

So closing night was last night. I felt excited and happy and sad to be doing our last show.
We have this one scene in the show called “Sexxxy Sailors” where (SPOILER ALERT!) Kevin is a ship captain and Stanley and I (the Sexxxy Sailors) flail around in sexual positions while Armand dumps water on us. Well, I do a lot of squatting in the scene. Early on during rehearsals I managed to completely rip out the crotch on my pants. Ever since then I positioned myself to stop that from happening.

Until closing night. But luckily the rip was small enough this time and my underwears were dark enough so that I’m pretty sure the audience didn’t notice. Thank God. Thank Gaga.

I couldn’t be prouder of this show and my fellow White Rainbows. We really came together to create a really good show. And I can’t thank Hydrate enough for letting us do our show at their establishment. Hydrate was a big part of the success equation for In Gaga We Trust. Turns out Hydrate and White Rainbows go together great, like chocolate and peanut butter.

There are plans for more White Rainbows events in the near future, including our next show in the fall of this year. I’m excited! -Matt

Opening Night

mattutter — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:34:08 +0000

Last night our show opened. It was such a great experience. In all honesty, I usually get a lot of stage fright. But not with this show. I was totally relaxed and I had so much fun doing it. I think the audience dug it, which is great because I am very proud of this show. I can’t wait for three more weeks of great performances.

I’d like to thank all our friends that came to see this show, we had a great house and the entire night was a pleasure.
