I Did Not Join Theatre Company To Get Into This Mess - Blog Posts

1 year ago

As our (transmasc!) Assistant Director adamantly put it, "Non-Binary people can have dicks"

Also the problem got sorted but I was so mad with everyone in that argument for a few days but because high school theatre I still had to see them every day...

An actor wanted to change a character's pronouns? (ah, high school theatre)

After about a month of starting this play, one of the actors decided they wanted to change their character from non binary (they/them pronouns) to a cis boy (he/him pronouns) for some reason.

The actor's reasoning was because "I just think it would work better." and "well the character talks about going to the bathroom so..." (as if that changes anything?)

In the original play, that character did in fact have he/him pronouns but the Assistant Director decided they wanted to change a few of the characters' pronouns to be more diverse. So now all the other actors will need to practice new lines...

I mean I guess it makes sense as the actor's gender expression is more masculine but you're an ACTOR. Aren't you supposed to pretend to be a different person?

Well, this doesn't really effect me with sound or anything but I just wanted to share with you guys.
