I created this production of Queen's "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions" in the fall of 2012. I wanted to incorporate a "stomp" element into the opening so I enlisted the support of some of my teenage friends to join me on bicycle pumps, garbage cans, plastic buckets and taps.
I also wanted the "champion" portion to not be about us but about a cause that they were passionate about. I invited them to find one word that they would like to champion in their life. These words were hidden inside the garbage can covers and revealed at the end of the performance.

The cabaret show was in Oct., right in the middle the debate around the marriage amendment. The kids and I all believed that we shouldn't write discrimination into our constitution by amending it to say that "marriage is only between one man and one woman". In Nov., we scored a huge victory here in MN. and defeated the amendment. It was a historic day in MN. as we are the 1st state to defeat this amendment. The fight for equality goes on. Here's to a world where all people have equal rights to love who they want.
