Embracing my Weird Queer Self - Featuring Jordan Barbour (he/him)

Teacakes & Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists

Featuring Broadway actor, Jordan Barbour | he/him :
Jordan Zooms with Will from inside his blanket fort to discuss the importance of queering the canon. Together, these two Libras discuss bringing their authentic self to a role instead of “disappearing” and offering advice as to what to do with moody and brooding actor guys who don’t know how to receive the many alternative portrayals of masculinity that exist.

In Teacakes and Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists, host Will Wilhelm (they/them) welcomes an artistic crush for an intimate chat and a reading. Each episode features a new queer guest discussing art, life in our industry, and their dreams and intentions while the world of performance waits in the wings. Together, they hold space to summon more inclusive, exciting, and queer-friendly ways to create. As the candle burns low, Will offers their guest a unique tarot reading to give them greater insight on a personal journey. It's one part cocktail party and one part slumber party that will leave you stirred but never shaken.

Teacakes & Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists is produced by Island Shakespeare Festival as part of the Shakespeare Playground Series. The series presents socially distanced programming that upholds ISF’s mission of accessible Shakespeare that embraces intersectional storytelling and artistic excellence.
