From the desk of... MAGGIE GILROY REVERB EDITOR

When not working on The Leader, I enjoy dramaturging mainstage productions. A dramaturg’s job is to conduct the research for a production, ensuring that the piece remains historically accurate. My latest project is The School for Scandal. Under the direction of Dr. James Ivey, the production will take to the Marvel Stage Nov. 6-10. Written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, The School for Scandal is a Comedy of Manners that focuses on the scandal that surrounds the wealthy society of the 1800s. Although Sheridan wrote the piece nearly 300 years ago the scandalous behavior of the characters, and their love to share this behavior in the form of gos- sip, is not too far from the way we act today. After spending part of the summer and the majority of this semester reading, writing and researching about Sheridan and the play, imagine my surprise when I saw the characters that I studied in depth infiltrate the world of Twitter!

Continued from page A-1

Near the end of the show, two kings and two queens were chosen as finalists and faced off in a lip-synching competition to a song of the DJ’s choice. Finalists included Moore, Danielle Diamonte, Eaton and Wayne Little. The judging panel consisted of Waistline and three alumni: Justin Creamer, Shamrock Shake and Tequilla Mockingbird. The judges watched each contestant and screamed for their favorites — sometimes even giving a standing ovation. Before the show, Mockingbird said she felt nostalgic to be back at Fredonia, that she “loves the school, and it’s great to come back.” She was also “excited to see new queens and what they have to bring to the table.” Finally, at the end of the evening, the win- ners were revealed. Moore proudly received her sash next to Ben Eaton, who was also crowned. Moore is a senior, and this was her sixth semester of involvement. She describes drag as “[her] form of artistic creation,”and said she loves to “fully embrace [her] feminine side and passion for the feminine sexuality. It involves dancing, acting, makeup, fashion; everything I love,” she said. Moore’s name comes from the song, ‘Gimme More,’ by Britney Spears, her idol; however, this year Moore decided to take on a different side of herself, performing first to Rihanna. Other performers who participated were Jay Dragon, Summer Night, Rider All Night, Ben Dover and Emerson Couture. This event was just one of many the Pride Alliance is hosting en lieu of Gay History Month, described by Mockingbird as “a celebration of us.”
