  6. MY SON'S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) with Rob Madge

    06/13/2025

    MY SON'S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) with Rob Madge

    "Think of the magic that you can create!" Inspiring words from Rob Madge's triumphant and hilarious celebration of identity, creativity, and the profound bond between parents and their child. As a child, Rob filled their home with grand performances, transforming into Mary Poppins, Ariel, and Belle with the help of homemade costumes, boundless imagination, and a little technical assistance (and occasional interference) from Dad. Their parents never said no—to a parade in the living room, to a costume change mid-scene, to a dream too big for the space it was staged in. Now, through a treasure trove of home videos and theatrical magic, My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) brings those moments to life, celebrating the power of childhood imagination, and the profound impact of parents who simply say “yes.” Connect with GOOD SHOW!
