    Episode 2 - Teeth Part 2
    Dec 31 2024
    In the second episode of Backstage Pass Season 2, we continue our conversation with Tony and Pulitzer Prize Award Winner Michael R. Jackson (A Strange Loop) and Anna K Jacobs (Pop!) about their musical Teeth. We also play a game we designed just for these writers, where we decide which musical theatre characters should be armed with vagina dentata. "Teeth" is a musical that follows Dawn O'Keefe, a charismatic leader of a Christian youth group called the Promise Keeper Girls, who grapples with her own sexual desires while suppressing them due to her strict religious upbringing; when violated, she discovers a shocking secret power where her body physically fights back against sexual assault, essentially giving her "teeth" against her attackers; the show explores themes of religious oppression, female sexuality, and bodily autonomy, based on the cult film of the same name, with music by Anna K. Jacobs and lyrics by Michael R. Jackson. This episode features the songs “It’s Always the Woman” performed by Alyse Alan Louis and “Dentata” performed by the cast of Teeth.

    Episode 29 - Isabella Dawis and Tidtaya Sinutoke: Sunwatcher Part 2
    Dec 17 2024
    In this episode we continue our conversation with Isabella Dawis and Tidtaya Sinutoke about their new musical, Sunwatcher. https://sunwatchermusical.com/ In 1944, a young woman in Tokyo dares to stare at the sun. Though she lives in a city under attack from American bombs – and in a body limited to the role of housewife – Hisako is determined to become an astronomer. Her struggle leads her to the mighty Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu, who is in the midst of her own epic battle and needs a mortal's help. But can Hisako rise to the challenge? Performed by an all-Asian women and nonbinary cast, with an innovative score featuring electronic live looping and taiko drumming: SUNWATCHER is a new musical about one woman’s extraordinary dedication to the power of observation. This episode features the song “Butterfly” performed by Isabella Dawis, Gemma Nha, and Anna Hashizume.
