Drama Queens, a five-star arts journal focusing on female artists

This play has the potential to be turned into a film.  
KATY: Oh please don’t get her started—
KATHERINE: YES! There is a film I have wanted to explore on a broader scale, the internal talk
we all have with ourselves and with other people. Katy and Katherine. Kermit and Dark Kermit. 
KATY: We’re thinking kind of like a cross between “Peepshow” and “Fleabag”. 
KATHERINE: Just imagine it: EVERYONE will have a Katherine! That sounds so marvelous.
KATY: It sounds like the world is about to run out of Xanax.

Jordan Peterson is quoted as saying how important it is to simply listen to someone.
This play helped Katy and Katherine listen to themselves.
KATY: It made me listen to my fears about who I really am under the façade of Katy and Katherine.
Who we are when we aren’t doing a funny face, trying to be charming, shooting finger guns, and
always ‘“on”.
KATHERINE: I supposed I was finally willing to listen to her constant badgering about letting go of
the past in a way that’s not superficial, not for the other person, but for you. 
KATY: It forced me to listen to how often I ask Katherine for help.
KATHERINE: Or how often I have to listen to Katy explain why smiling in public is an acceptable
form of emotive expression.
KATY: And I have to listen to her say things like “emotive expression.” Dude. Just say face!

There are many times that art does more than simply entertain. People resonate
with it, and it has the potential to help heal some audience members who go through similar
experiences as the characters on stage. 

KATHERINE: We do not believe in taboos. It has the word “boo’ in it for one reason, and I will
not abide by them. The more we feel silenced when it comes to talking about our fractured selves,
our abuse, our rape, our horrible selfishness, we rob the world of the chance to help us heal those
fractures. 
KATY: I had a woman come up to me in Minnesota, crying and thanking me for so frankly telling
the story of my assault, especially the cycle of self-loathing and pain an event like that incurs. 
KATHERINE: Frankly, I am thrilled that people are finally willing to admit that this is something
we all do!
KATY: And it’s beautiful-
KATHERINE: Chaotic-
KATY: Horribly contradictory-
KATHERINE: And one of the most beautiful things that unites humanity together. 
KATY: Especially with how divided we are as a people, country, and world. I don’t think we’ve been
this divided as a nation since the final season of “Game of Thrones” premiered. 

There are many interesting projects on the horizon for this dynamic duo!
KATY: After November, we will perform this show again at the United Solo (NYC) festival in the
Spring-
KATHERINE: Cue nervous pacing-
KATY: And hopefully bringing it to Edinburgh Fringe next August. That’s our “dream the
impossible broke artist” dream. We hope that this festival, and United Solo, will help make this goal
a little less-
KATHERINE: Megalithic. But more excitingly we have finished the first play in our “Suicide Trilogy”
which will be the first full-length play we have been commissioned to write. 
KATY: We can’t end an interview like that! Telling them about our “Suicide Trilogy”.
KATHERINE: How do you suggest we answer this question then?
KATY: With some style and pizzazz. Like this: What’s next for this crazy duo?! Fire hoops, lions
with hats, and a series of slowly deflating balloons. Mostly, working on the next play. We have a
graphic novel that we are finding an illustrator for.
KATHERINE: Working on a film set in WW2-
KATY: Working on a short film with a former classmate in Chicago-
KATHERINE: Laundry.
KATY: I promise, that last one isn’t happening.
