Agreed: Morgan Bassichis’s Can I Be Frank? is a smart, compassionate love letter to queer performance histories. Sure, it has some of the flaws of a self-referential one-person show but I promise you’ll be talking about it afterwards…& googling Frank Maya!

I met Ozzie Rodriguez in the La Mama archive when I was a nervous grad student w/ no confidence in my research. He was a kind & generous presence among the filing cabinets: a radical archivist & passionate historian of an institution he helped to build & to preserve.💔
