Seven guys get ‘dangerous’
from page 17
straight and weren't comfortable with this
type of play."
Two straight actors were eventually cast,
playing the two young lovers in the tale.
'There's still a taboo of 'Oh, I'm
straight. I don't want to do a gay play,"
Griffin said, letting his pride show for the
two straight actors who've said they're
committed to playing the roles.
The production isn't for the faint of
heart. Wedolowski and Griffin expect the
show to be a hit, but certainly not one
that'll keep their company afloat. They've
relied on more subdued productions to see
them through the current economic mess
ahd allow them to present challenging and
rare works like "Dangerous."
"There was a moment in October that
we were really depressed, to the point of
'Like, what are we going to do?"
Wedolowski said. "The election, the
economic crisis, the gas crisis — every
thing together — since then we have
been optimistic and it is growing. A lot
of people have begun to see theater
again as a way to get out of their
problems, to get out of their houses."
"Dangerous" will be presented at
Duke Energy Theatre,.345 N. College St.,
Charlotte, from April 2 through April 18.
