Our current production, M. Butterfly, has the lobby buzzing with discussion during intermission. This cutting edge, award-winning drama crosses sexual and cultural boundaries and transports SLOLT audiences to places they’re possibly never been before.

The question is… do audiences want to go there?

We’ve had varied reactions. Some of our patrons consider this play nothing more than ‘smut’ and were highly offended that SLOLT would choose such a play for our season. On the other hand, we received congratulatory calls thanking us for doing something other than comedies and musicals.

For those of you who’ve seen our production of M. Butterfly, what do you think? Is this play worthy of a Tony award? Can you understand why this play was a Pulitzer Prize finalist? Or is it nothing more than ‘in your face’ smut that the world would be better off without?

SLOLT wants to know how you feel. Please click on the ‘comments’ link and tell us!

Thank you,
