Gender Fuck Thursday: Boys Edition

I feel the urgent need to draw your attention to the fact that there is a new off-Broadway production starring Meryl Streep’s hot masc queer daughter, and a bunch of other queer and gender nonconforming performers. Louisa Jacobson, the aforementioned hot masc queer daughter of Meryl Streep, stars in “Trophy Boys” which opens this month in NYC. The show stars Louisa as Jared, nonbinary actor Terry Hu as David, trans actor Esco Jouléy as Scott and the nonbinary playwright themselves Emmanuelle Mattana as Owen. Get it, they’re the “Boys.” The storyline is described by Playbill as: “A debate team at an elite all-boys prep school one hour before their final match. As they prepare to smoke their sister school (on the prompt "feminism has failed women," no less), a rumor emerges that threatens to ruin everything.” I for one would love to see gender fucking take on that old chestnut “Boys will be boys.” I also very much approve of Louisa in her tuxedo shirt. What, just because it sounds like a sharp, smart play I can’t also be shallow? It’s like you don’t even know me at all.

Very cool what Luisa Jacobson is up to these days. Hope the play is a success for everyone involved.
