In this episode, we discuss gender bending in theatre. Does a character's gender matter? Does the actor have to be the same gender as a character? In this time of gender fluidity, we discuss the impact it can and historically has brought to the stage. Lastly this episode is slightly different in that “THE READING” and “THE PROCESS” segments are done a bit differently. Enjoy!
