A Fringe Quickie (#405) with ‘Spin Cycle: The Lesbian Launderette Play’

Questions answered by Zofia Zerphy.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

I will personally call out anyone who doesn’t book tickets to our show as homophobic.

Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

“Spin Cycle” would get canceled for exposing how messy lesbian relationships are- why do you think we do so much laundry?

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

Well, before I brought it home I’d probably ask my mom a similar question as I did the first time I brought my girlfriend home. I said, “Mom, what do you think will bother grandpa the most; the fact she’s Irish, Gay, or a Catholic.” And she said “Yes”.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

The morning after will be like any good lesbian date- we’ll still be on your mind and you’ll be desperately trying to plan the next time you will see us again. But you just can’t lock us down, baby. All the gays want to us, and we just can’t say no.
