Morning Brew – Showtime picks up Ingrid Jungermann’s lesbian comedy “F to 7th”

Good morning!

A lesbian activist in upstate New York received a threatening note at her home, but the police don’t see it as a crime.

The New York Times writes about Ballez, a dance company filled with genderfluid, LGBT and diverse dancers. Creator Katy Pyle is an out lesbian, and their upcoming performance of Sleeping Beauty takes a queer turn:

In the classic ballet “Sleeping Beauty,” the baby princess Aurora is placed under a curse by the evil fairy Carabosse: When she pricks her finger with a needle, she’ll die. But the Lilac Fairy changes the spell so that Aurora will only fall asleep. A hundred years later, a prince awakens her with a kiss. In Ms. Pyle’s version, Aurora’s father owns a Lower East Side garment factory, and the three fairies – Violet, Scarlet and Azure – are played by men and are the factory’s designers. The second act, in 1993, takes place in a lesbian club. As Ms. Pyle said, it was time when “activism and sex and death and club culture were also overlapping.”

Ingrid Jungermann is taking her web series F to 7th to Showtime, and both Jamie Babbit and Karey Dornetto will write on the television adaptation. It sounds like Ingrid will not be the star of the series, however, but maintains its original theme, “chronicl[ing] the female descent into pre-middle age in a world where sexuality and gender have left old-fashioned lesbianism behind.”

Stephanie Allynne will appear in the new Twin Peaks reboot, among many other women we love.

This is a really misleading headline but there are still some tidbits that might be of interest.

Uzo Aduba says she gets hit up by a lot of female fans:

“Yeah, so many ladies on social media want me to throw my pie for them, or they want to throw a pie for me. They ask to be my Dandelion. I appreciate it. I also get a lot of proposals. Sometimes I’m like, “Hmm, how big is the ring?” It’s all in good fun.”
