Draft:Make Me Gorgeous

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Make Me Gorgeous!, also known as Make Me Gorgeous! - The True Story of Kenneth "Mr. Madam" Marlowe, is a play written by Donald "Donnie" Horn and produced by triangle productions!. The play is based on the life of Kenneth Marlowe, exploring the roles and experiences in their life that led to the published author to become one of the first public figures in the US to transition to becoming a woman living as Kate Marlowe in 1975. The play is adapted from Donnie's book, Mr. Madam: The Life and Times of Kenneth/Kate Marlowe, the culmination of years of research and interviews that established Donnie as one of the foremost historians to chronicle Kenneth/Kate Marlowe's life.[1] A new edition of the book, retitled Us, further explores the life of Kenneth/Kate Marlowe.[2]  The play began performances Off-Broadway on November 10, 2023 at Playhouse 46 and starred Wade McCollum.[3]

The Off-Broadway production of Make Me Gorgeous! featured scenic design by Walt Spangler; lighting design by Jamie Roderick; sound design by Ien DeNio; costume design by Jeffrey Hinshaw; and props by Brendan McCann.[4]
