Lisa Haas
In Heat: Is She Hot Under Her Collar or Under Her Skirt, playwright Lisa Haas’ recent show, featured the character of Doris, a hard-line lesbian in late middle-age struggling to understand her younger, more genderqueer-identified counterparts while pursuing the basic human need of getting laid. In Heat is part of a trilogy Haas is currently working on, which she describes as a kind of lusty dyke meditation. “The overarching theme is get sex now!” Haas says, “but on a more serious note, the major themes are time, as in ‘times have changed’, self-creationism and sexual-evolution-revolution.” Haas has presented her work throughout New York City, the U.S. and internationally. Also an accomplished monologist, Haas will bring her solo show, Crown Hill Cemetery, to the Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver Fringe Festivals this summer. -CB
