    Press Quotes

    “A joyous statement for all generations of gay culture.” —Terry Helbing, The New York Native

    “The romantic songs are every bit as uplifting as the satirical songs are bitingly funny.” —Gary L Day, Philadelphia Gay News

    “A prolific and highly talented songwriter, it’s Weinberg at his best, hashing out issues via wonderful lyrics and melodies. From the tyranny of religious intolerance to outing, guaranteed to irk the fundies.” —Tommi Avicolli Mecca, First Hand

    “Weinberg tempers the camp and stays focused on substance. GET USED TO IT is a humorous look at serious gay issues.” —Bob Harrington, The New York Post

    “From the wacky ‘No Opening Number’ to the heart-warming ‘I’ll Call You Lover’ through the defiant ‘Breaking the Penal Code with You,’ this is superb musical theater. Rich in nuance, dramatic timing and effect, the piece is compassionate, romantic, tender and politically savvy.” —Will Grega, AllMusic Review

    “Una simpatico commedia musicale dedicate agli omosessuali con senso dell’umorismo. Applausi.” —Mario Fratti, Oggi

    “Weinberg covers a wide range of subjects using anger, humor and love to create a roller-coaster of a revue.” —Wayne Hoffman, The Washington Blade

    • Tom Wilson Weinberg

      Tom Wilson Weinberg began singing original queer-themed songs in coffee-houses and gay pride events in the late seventies. His early albums "Gay Name Game" (1979) and "All-American Boy" (1982) were among the first in this new genre. His shows TEN PERCENT REVUE (1987) and GET USED TO IT! (1992) were produced Off-Broadway by Laura Green and John Glines, respectively, published by Broadway Play Publishing, toured extensively and recorded by Aboveground Records. Weinberg's compilation "Don't Mess with Mary" (1994) was the official CD of Stonewall 25. SIXTY YEARS WITH BRUHS AND GEAN, commissioned by the New York City Gay Men's Chorus, debuted at Carnegie Hall in 1995 and was later sung at Lincoln Center. An expanded version, BRUHS AND GEAN, was presented by the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Theater Festival in 2003, at The Duplex in New York and at Arts Project Cherry Grove, Fire Island in 2004. Tom's THE TEACHINGS OF CHAIRMAN RICK was part of the 2005 Philly Fringe Festival. RICK was revived in 2006, BRUHS AND GEAN in 2007. In 2008 Tom began a series of cabaret performances which benefit community organizations and are ongoing. He is continuing development of his musical about Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok, original book by Peggy Stafford and directed by Darren Katz. A reading and demo CD of ELEANOR & HICK features Lea Delaria, Cady Huffman and Mary Testa. Weinberg's song "Lesbian Seagull" was featured in the film Beavis and Butt-head Do America (Paramount/MTV), on the soundtrack (Geffen/Universal), and published by Warner Chappell. Honors include a Drama-Logue Award (Los Angeles), Golden Gull Award (Provincetown), Bessie Smith Award (Boston) and OutMusic Heritage Award (New York). Tom was a founder of Giovanni's Room and president of The Attic Youth Center, both in Philadelphia, where he lives with his husband, John Whyte. Tom and John are the dads of Jesse, 23, and Max, 21. Tom is a member of ASCAP, OutMusic and The Purple Circuit.

    Play Description

    Arrogant young Puerto Rican Fatima, who works as a counter girl at a fast-food restaurant, has been arrested for the murder of 14 people, poisoned at her workplace. Young attorney Jeremy has been assigned to defend her and asks a Latina colleague, Maritza, to be his translator. But Fatima refuses to talk to anyone but Maritza, and she's enough of a manipulator to get her way. Fatima claims she has been blessed — or cursed — with psychic powers. By merely clasping the hand of an individual, she says, she can immediately grasp everything about him/her including past, future, and innermost secrets. She tells Maritza that her murders were mercy killings: She “read” each of her victims and killed them because they wanted to die. Maritza is first incredulous, then indignant at Fatima's playing God. She firmly resists letting Fatima clasp her hand, but Fatima is persuasive, constantly shifting from pugnacious, foul-mouthed street girl to wise and wily seductress to gentle, compassionate young woman. Maritza finally offers up her hand, yielding her secrets and placing her fate in Fatima's grasp.
