New Feature: Tell-All Tuesday Profiling Geppetta
In this new feature, I make our performers answer silly and serious questions! Some of them, like Geppetta (formerly known as Adelaide Windsome, but isn’t Geppetta the best name for a puppetteeress?) I haven’t seen since October so we are catching up! Comment below if you have questions for your favorite femme show folks, I’ll add them to the questionnaire as we continue this feature.
What have you been up to since October?
This autumn was a ridiculous catastrophe. With car accidents, canceled shows, and other detrimental events that I don’t have the energy to alliterate with “c”.
Though 2010, has been an incredible year so far. I toured with the Tranny Roadshow in January and am currently in the midst of a 40 day Southeast tour with genderqueer singer/ songwriter Evan Greer. So much warmth and magic.

Why do you think the Femme Show is important?
Femme is defined in such an inclusive manner. There is plenty of fake eyelashes, colorful stockings, and glitter (oh so much glitter) but performance is expressed in so many different forms from narrative to dance, drag to puppetry.
The Femme Show is so versatile and vital
What are you most excited about for the Femme Show in 2010?
2 k FEMME! I am still fresh to the show, so getting to tour and perform while connecting with other performers is so enticing.
Putting puppet theater in a femme and queer context is natural for me but not everyday do I have the opportunity perform with so many inspiring femme-identified artists.
What is your favorite thing to do onstage? Least favorite?
Making small mistakes is pretty exciting. Pretty much any opportunity to improv and banter with the audience.
Sweating profusely on stage is unfortunate.
Sweet or savory?
At the moment: Oh so sweet like a hidden piece of candy you find in your pocket or an impulsive memory of some delicious love.
