Same thing happened with me. Those searches made me think and I was glad to offer some contribution. Which brings me to the next search. I am working on staged race & gender impersonations in American cinema and I am looking for titles to expand my collection of titles. Any suggestions? Here's what I need: films (or scenes from) that portray an onstage performance where the character(s) engage in a gender & race impersonation (both) before a diegetic audience. Example: *Paris Is Burning.* Reply to me personally or to the screen-l network.... Thank you *very* much, Gloria Monti Yale University [log in to unmask]
