Hi, we’re Madeline Steck & Kaden Bütts! We’re an actor, writer, comedy duo, but our most notable achievement is that we’re the only Welcome Week friendship that ever actually stayed in touch. We wrote Yet You’re A Virgin (And So Am I) largely in response to our casting types. Whether we were pigeonholed as the Manic-Pixie-Ingenue-Girl-Nextdoor or the FABULOUS Boa-Wearing AIDS Patient (You can probably guess who’s who), we started questioning the idea of what we were “supposed” to want versus who we actually wanted to be onstage. We resolved that we wanted to create theatre that represented Gen Z queerness, didn’t take itself too seriously, and created a space where gay people didn’t always have to be palatable. Thus, our work together is an embrace of our younger selves, with everything we once thought to be embarrassing now fueling us. In short, Yet You’re A Virgin (And So Am I) is a reclamation of artistic agency and sense of self… which for us just so happens to be growing up gay and chronically online.
