I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.”
Was one of Mae West’s less famous quotes probably because it was NOT a sexual double entendre. It does, however, refer to her 1926 play The Drag, which never opened on Broadway due to censorship as it deals with the reality of Gay life in 1920’s New York The Drag has been revived by Play Your Part productions at the Calamus Auditorium at Gay City in lower Capitol Hill, much to my delight.

As an original science fiction acapella musical, Silhouette immediately stands out against the backdrop of a local theater scene steeped in Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams. Now of course, distinction on its own is not enough to carry a production. Which is why I’m very happy to report that Silhouette packs enough dramatic heft on its own merits to entertain a far broader audience than merely fans of the above genres.
