Yay! The Rude One will be at the Backdoor Playhouse in Cookeville, Tennessee on Thursday, October 12. But someone doesn't want people with vaginas (well, some of us anyway) to see the show.
[T]he Rude Pundit's gonna be doing a preview (not a full-blown production) of his upcoming show The Road To Rude at the Backdoor Playhouse in Cookeville, Tennessee (yes, make all the jokes you want about the name). He'll be on a bill with Addie Brownlee, a kickass folk rocker, and we're calling the evening the "Cancel Your Grandpa's Vote" show. It's at 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 12. Tix are just ten bucks, or five bucks for students.
Why Cookeville? Because the Rude Pundit's director, Mark H. Creter, is a professor at Tennessee Tech University, where the Backdoor Playhouse happens to be. Creter has faced down mighty bullshit in producing The Vagina Monologues and other controversial stuff in his conservative Christian town. It's why the National Council of Teachers of English gave him its Intellectual Freedom Award a couple of years ago.
Go read the rest of the post to find out about the wingnutty effort to protect some Tennesseans with vaginas from the Rude One's show.
We only wish the blogger could stay and help us be rude to James Dobson on the 16th.
