We're closing out Pride Month with our new friends Lex and Kaiti! A great discussion about gender, responsible casting, and queer representation through the lens of John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

We talk primarily about the 2001 film directed and starring John Cameron Mitchell as well as the Tony award-winning revival from 2004 starring Neil Patrick Harris and directed by Michael Mayer.

LEX BLAIR & KAITI MADDOX may be two halves of a whole idiot with a few brain cells. But together they are a whole unit that have been together for almost 3 and a half years. They are united by love, theatre, and whatever special interests that they have at the moment. Together, they are both excited about joining the Celluloid Stage podcast tonight.

They are proud to be frequent collaborators with Green Buffalo Productions. Lex has lended her music, under St Blair, to 2018 Emerald Terrace, where it is used as the opening and closing theme. She has also acted in several Quarantine Quarters along with her partner Kaiti. Kaiti has made notable contributions in writing this year with two of her shows, British Morning Socks & Alumni Day, featured in the Quarantine Quarters with her first paid play, PR Nightmare, put on by Theatre Three Productions in Port Jefferson, NY.
