We all, for the most part, inherently know how to flow with it, cut loose (i.e. have fun/be happy), or strut our stuff when we have reason to believe we are invincible or that goodness and justice will surely prevail. Ain’t Nothin’ Like That, along with some other books by Nightshade, explores the analysis of when we learn the polar opposite of what we believed of the world is actually the true version. This typically occurs when/if we discover that if perchance what we’ve got (figuratively) glows or is special on any level and “If they can see it they will take it,” should opportunistic opportunity strike. The perpetual how(s) and why(s) of the sheople/the most common deciding class: As for the remainder of the true minority status, in typical response we think if we can find the answers or prove the truth then we can make it all right in a manner as out of touch with reality, for many of us, as the idea of clicking the heels of magical ruby slippers together to get back home to the farm where things are beautiful and maybe there is a fresh baked apple or blueberry pie in the oven. We believe in a simplified way or simplified explanation that if we can find one and then the other one or whatever the specific numbers in the mystery are for us and then also figure out there is a plus sign between those two ones, for example: one plus one equals two. Two is the answer. If we can find the answer, whichever answer applies to us then we can stop the horror or even reverse it or find a way to reverse it/make it right and maybe sometimes some of us can find that answer. Thereafter there remains the wildcard, which seems always to be the free-will of humans, including those humans beyond us comprised of the predators, the sheople, preconceived notions, judgments, invalidations, campfire stories which wander farther away from the truth with each warped telling, the cookie-cutter one size fits all, pigeon hole categorizations, Inoculation Theory, and the rampant naysayers (i.e. “No that cannot be the answer for you because it is not the answer for me and others I know, so no you cannot have that answer or try that answer out at all, but we will give you another serving of that proverbial dog that bit you or the Achilles’ Tendon Factor assault that caused this because that’s what we say will fix it.”). Onward it likely goes forever this way. The very comprehension of these thinking patterns as well as others linked to these distinct patterns could save so many a great deal; if the lesson are learned on time. Ain’t Nothin’ Like That.

Please Come Off-Book queers the theatrical canon we all grew up with. Kantor critiques the treatment of queer figures and imagines a braver and bolder future that allows queer voices the agency over their own stories. Drawing upon elements of the Aristotelian dramatic structure and the Hero's Journey, Please Come Off-Book is both a love letter to and a scathing critique of American culture and the lenses we choose to see ourselves through.
