2/1/2023 0 Comments A New, Queer-Focused Student Theatre Group Takes The Stage With "Spring Awakening"Catherine Sullivan (she/her) The rock musical “Spring Awakening” is not what most people would consider strong queer representation. Focusing on two heterosexual couples discovering their sexuality, the show only briefly includes scenes featuring a homosexual relationship. On the surface, the 2006 Broadway adaptation of an 1891 play seems like exactly that: the kind of queer representation we’ve moved on from since 2006. But In The Round, a new queer-focused student theatre group, proves that “Spring Awakening” is absolutely a queer story. In The Round is looking to tell stories that resonate with queer people, not just to feature queer characters, as Jack Rosenberg, president of In The Round and director of “Spring Awakening,” told us in an interview with the Gayly.
Katie Watson (she/her) Whether it’s for laughs, for support, for labels, or for pure curiosity, many a queer has taken one of the various “Am I [insert identity here]” quizzes. There’s hundreds of versions offering answers to questions many queer people face throughout their lives, whether it be gender, sexual, and romantic identity, or any other question. They can be silly Buzzfeed quizzes judging your sexuality based on a Starbucks order or an algorithmic quiz that tallies up your answers to questions to give you a percentage point of gayness. In my own experience, taking this kind of quiz started out as a joke but eventually became a way to test out various labels and identities, to explore questions about my identity and satisfy my need to put a label on what I was feeling. After reflecting on these memories and hearing so many similar stories from queer friends, I became curious. This month, I set out to discover why gay quizzes have become such a universal experience for queer youth, and what alternatives we can find to quizzes in support of those who are questioning.
