Gen’l Austin supports overturning military trans ban Gen. Lloyd Austin, Joe Biden’s pick to lead the Defense Department, said this week for the first time publicly he supports efforts to overturn the transgender military ban. Austin made the comments during his confirmation hearing for the role of secretary of defense under questioning from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who has taken the lead on the issue in the Senate Armed Services Committee. “I support the plan to overturn the ban,” Austin said. “I truly believe that if you’re fit and you’re qualified to serve and you can maintain the standards, you should be allowed to serve.” Aaron Belkin, director of the San Francisco-based Palm Center, said in a statement Austin’s comments in favor of ending the transgender military ban are welcome news. “It’s heartening that defense secretary-designate Lloyd Austin fully understands the urgency of ending the military’s harmful transgender ban,” Belkin said. “Very little needs to be done administratively to finally end discrimination against transgender troops, and we look forward to the arrival of fully inclusive policy very soon.” Sources told the Washington Blade the Biden team in conference call with LGBTQ leaders Biden on his first day in office would direct the Defense Department to dismantle the transgender military ban, individuals familiar with the call told the Washington Blade. It may take an entire year before the Pentagon is completely able to undo the ban, which President Trump initiated by tweet in July 2017. The Palm Center, however, has issued a memo asserting the policy could be reversed in as few as 30 days. !"#$%&'(")%()

(Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect), today’s circuit parties have emphasized hierarchies and divisions within gay culture. These differences seek to undermine attempts at political solidarity and fulfillment of the political promise of the 1969 Stonewall Riots 50 years ago. However, it would also be irresponsible if I didn’t simultaneously point out that such parties are engaged in by “straights.” While I don’t defend either group, I can at least understand and sympathize with the need for human companionship "'!$!J,+1C!J3.+.!2,7!$+.!',&!H$+&!,-!&3.!C,9"'$'&!(+,7H;

WAPAVA offers living archive of local theater ‘What did people do when the theater closed?’

,-'4/*$1(.'3)221/$# While a book or movie has a way of hanging around, theater doesn’t. When a production ends, it’s done. Fortunately, there’s a way of meeting or revisiting a play or musical that doesn’t involve illegal recording or the risk of getting booted out mid-performance. Washington Area Performing Arts Video Archive (WAPAVA) offers the opportunity to view almost 1,000 recordings of local productions. Its archives are a living record of something that might otherwise have disappeared. Founded singlehandedly by the late James “Jim” Taylor in 1993 to preserve live theater performances, WAPAVA is one of just three major continuous Actors’ Equity-approved video performance archives in America. The others are in Chicago and New York City. Housed in both the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the Martin Luther King D.C. Public Library on G Street, N.W., WAPAVA’s archive is a resource for theater professionals and scholars, students and educational programs, specialized researchers, and the general public. And since October, out Helen Hayes Award-winning actor/director Rick Hammerly has been WAPAVA’s new executive director. Tipped off to the opening by his close friend actor Felicia Curry, Hammerly was excited to find an opportunity that would tap his talents, degrees, and background. “Rarely do you see a job posting where you have all of the requirements - I was a little concerned about the website stuff but that hasn’t proved a problem.” Hammerly suggests his strongest attribute is his longevity in the industry and his many connections in local theater: “I can reach out to a lot of people, I’m willing to go out and speak about WAPAVA. I can put a face to the organization.” “Increasing visibility is very important for us,” says longtime WAPAVA board of directors president Jackson R. Bryer. “We were looking for someone who could help with that. And with Rick’s numerous connections, and familiarity with area theater, we believe he is right for the job.” Bryer, a professor emeritus of the University of Maryland’s department of English, says fundraising for a nonprofit archive presents unique challenges: “First, the product isn’t shared easily. Recordings can only be viewed on site in College Park and downtown. And unlike Arena Stage and other theaters where donors can attend openings and meet the actors, we don’t give that kind of experience.” Hammerly hopes to offer some new ideas. His goals include finding innovative ways of interactive fundraising. He is also reconstituting an advisory group to aid in the selection of productions to record. With the help of a diverse group, he wants to employ a curatorial approach in selecting quality, noteworthy works based partly on their relevance and

‘Mrs. Dalloway’ offers hope for our modern, COVID world One day we’ll attend parties again

,-'./*01'&)23% When I was 16, I fell in love for the first time. Like so many readers, I was spellbound by “Mrs. Dalloway,” the groundbreaking novel by the queer, gender-bending, British author Virginia Woolf. Today, during the pandemic, along with many other aficionados, I’m turning to “Mrs. Dalloway” for beauty, consolation, and hope. Clarissa Dalloway, the book’s main character, is a Twitter star, complete with memes and followers. “Mrs. Dalloway,” which went into public domain this year, was first published in 1925 – nearly a century ago. You might well wonder: why, after all these years, are so many so taken with “Mrs. Dalloway?” “Mrs. Dalloway,” with its breathtaking sentences and astounding, inventive style has always had its fervent admirers (mostly women) and detractors (mostly men). Today, many of its devotees are turning to it with fresh eyes. Set in London, five years after World War I ended and in the aftermath of the 1918 flu pandemic, the novel offers insights and parallels to our time. The novel has a thrilling same-sex kiss, post-traumatic stress, taxi cabs, airplanes and a sighting of the king and queen. It’s the bagel with everything! But, at first glance, you wouldn’t think this at all. Not only Mrs. Dalloway herself, but the plot of the novel, would seem to spark no connection with readers in our time. What happens in “Mrs. Dalloway?” If you read a plot summary, you easily could think “not much.” The novel takes place in London on a June day in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, a society woman, wife of a member of parliament and mother is giving a party that evening. During the day, she walks in London, doing errands. She buys flowers and runs into her old friend Hugh. She stands on a street corner next to Septimus, a shell-shocked World War I vet and his wife. Clarissa and Septimus don’t know each other. Septimus suffers from what we’d now call post-traumatic stress. But his pompous, bumbling psychiatrist turns

representational content. A veteran of local stages, Hammerly was aware of WAPAVA, but never thought too much about it. However, as producing artistic director of Factory 449, an esteemed D.C. company focused on contemporary works, he has become more aware of the archive’s value. “I began using the College Park location to acquaint myself with unfamiliar playwrights and to get an idea of the capabilities of an actor that I might cast. It’s a wonderful tool – like a phone book back in the day, you know it’s there when you need it.” With libraries closed due to COVID-19, WAPAVA might have stood still. Instead, they’re adding a new pandemic archive to their extant Series 1 (productions filmed by WAPAVA) and Series 2 (productions filmed by local theater companies): “We’re collecting online productions, readings, interviews, and roundtables,” says Hammerly who lives in D.C.’s Brookland neighborhood with husband Dar Gazder. “I feel it’s important to have these things because five years from now when somebody looks back and asks ‘what did people do when the theater closed?’ there will be a record of how we pivoted, of how creative we were in trying to keep content coming, and the ways we embraced a new medium. And how artists dealt with it.” He’s also eager to grow the archive with recent theatrical productions by reaching out to companies that may have quality recordings, particularly recordings of Helen Hayes Awardwinning shows. As executive director, Hammerly is keeping Jim Taylor’s vision alive. Though he’s making some tweaks here and there, Hammerly is determined to carry on WAPAVA’s essential mission to remain passionate in its obligation to preserve theater by recording it.

up as a guest at her party. At the gathering, Clarissa learns that Septimus has killed himself. After she returns home from her errands, Clarissa chats with her husband Richard, mends a tear in her party dress, is surprised when Peter, an old flame, comes to visit and, with her maid Lucy, makes sure that everything’s ready for the gathering. She remembers how much, as a girl, she loved her friend Sally, and how exciting it was when they kissed. This synopsis might seem dull as dishwater. Yet, “Mrs. Dalloway” isn’t a conventional or superficial novel and neither Clarissa nor the other characters are shallow or insignificant. Woolf, influenced by Marcel Proust, another queer writer, pioneered what has been called stream of consciousness in fiction. In “Mrs. Dalloway,” the reader learns what Clarissa, Peter and the other characters think as they shop, visit, dine, work, ride buses and drink and talk at Clarissa’s party. Their thoughts shift from the present to the past and back again. While taking a nap or fiddling with a pocketknife, they’re musing about love, death, marriage, their youth, getting old – about time itself. Yet now, when more than 400,000 in the United States have died from the coronavirus, life and death mean more to us than ever before. Since the Capitol siege, it feels as if we’re living in a war. “Mrs. Dalloway,” set when many were wounded by war or damaged by influenza (the flu had weakened Clarissa’s heart) offers hope that life will return. “She always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day,” Woolf writes of Clarissa. Yet, Clarissa loves life! “What a lark!” she says as she buys flowers. “Mrs. Dalloway” “makes us feel what it is to be one vivid consciousness in the world but for only a relative short time,” Sheila Black, author of the poetry collection “All the Sleep in the World,” emailed me. Check out “Mrs. Dalloway.” It gives us hope that one day we, too, will be out and about in our city – buying flowers, meeting old lovers, musing about death, yet loving life. ! "# $ % $&!
