Gay for Pay with Blake & Clay

Written by Curtis Campbell & Daniel Krolik

Directed by Curtis Campbell

Starring Jonathan Wilson and Daniel Krolik

In-Association with Crow’s Theatre

“Every actor knows there is nothing more prestigious than playing gay. But is your heterosexuality getting in the way of a one-way ticket to award season? Join Blake and Clay as we teach you to play gay and make LGBTQ about YOU. Go from straight to straight up booked! Let our lived experience get your acting career off life support! Representation matters, but our representation hasn’t called in ages.”

Fringe favourites Curtis Campbell and Daniel Krolik return with their cheeky seminar that is a must for any aspiring actor ready to bravely limp their wrists towards success. Krolik is accompanied onstage by Jonathan Wilson (My Own Private Oshawa, The Lion King, The Normal Heart) as the titular duo. Join as they teach such gay-acting touchstones as Adversity For The Unadversed, Accountability: A Platform is More Than Just a Runway and of course, Finding the Faggotry! This Fringe darling was as sell out hit and the buzziest show of the season. It is a blistering cultural satire that is as scathing as it is candid. So join Blake & Clay as they teach you to gay your way to critical acclaim!

Jonathan Wilson (performer) is a Governor General’s Award and Gemini nominee, as well as a multi-Dora award nominee and winner. Some of his credits include My Own Private Oshawa, The Lion King and The Normal Heart.

Daniel Krolik’s Daniel has performed across Canada with such companies as Buddies in Bad Times, Magnus Theatre, Studio 180, Roseneath Theatre, and Bluewater Summer Playhouse.
