The 2012-2013 marks the 25th anniversary of Actor's Express and from the schedule released today, there are plenty of options for gay audiences to applaud. A dead president in tight jeans, (potential) full nudity in "Equus" and a tantalizing love affair in "Kiss of the Spider Women" as well as more.
"Kiss of the Spider Woman," winner of seven Tony Awards, kicks off the season of the Atlanta theater on Aug. 22 and is directed by openly gay artistic director Freddie Ashley.
Actor's Express continues to seek donations to raise $200,000 by the end of July to ensure the gay-inclusive theater company remains open for its 24th season. So far, the theater company has met 78 percent of its goal, meaning some $40,000 is still needed. As part of the fundraising campaign, a handy guide was emailed today to supporters to let them know what their money can actually buy.
