"Sarah Schulman is one of this country's best cultural critics and novelists, and what she has to say in this book needs to be hear." Alexander Doty, author of Making Things Perfectly Queer. Sarah Schulman writes from a highly scorned community whose members are generally cast as anonymous freaks in someone else's play. As Stagestruck makes clear, the titillating history and ideas of those "freaks" are consistently stolen and then corrupted by uptown "art" marketeers out to make a quick buck. But you cannot change the story without changing the moral of the story. "Soul stealing" is punishable in older societies. It is time we caught up." Diamanda Galás, performer and composer. "Utterly engrossing ... startling and scary ... I have never read a more persuasive account - a wonderfully written one, too - of the commodification that has overtaken us, and the disparity of power between the haves and the have nots ... Stagestruck establishes beyond cavil the gross colonisation by yuppie straight America of all that is special about gay life. Sarah Schulman remains what she has been: a rare, fearless teller of unpleasant truths." Martin Duberman, author of In White America and Stonewall., "Sarah Schulman writes from a highly-scorned community whose members are generally cast as anonymous freaks in someone else's play.

As Stagestruck makes clear, the titillating history and ideas of these ‘freaks’ are consistently stolen and then corrupted by uptown ‘art’ marketeers out to make a quick buck. But you cannot change the story without changing the moral of the story. ‘Soul stealing’ is punishable in older societies. It is time we caught up.â€�-Diamanda Gal s, performer and composer, Take the stardust out of your eyes and clear the deck for Stagestruck . . . . Finally, an inside account of how the original novel People in Trouble , written by Schulman, was misappropriated for the musical Rent. More importantly, Schulman uses her ensuing struggle for acknowledgment of that fact as the basis for analyzing the subterfuge of erasing or stereotyping lesbian and gay identity in the larger context of mass media response and perception. It raises the question of how recent visibility is being manipulated and sold short all at the cost of searching for a wider, more accepting audience not only in theaters but in magazines, movies, and style., "Sarah Schulman writes from a highly-scorned community whose members are generally cast as anonymous freaks in someone else's play.

Sarah Schulman remains what she has been: a rare, fearless teller of unpleasant truths." Martin Duberman, author of In White America and Stonewall ., If Schulman was unable to rescue her rights from the underworld of corporate entertainment, she has not returned from that inferno empty-handed. Stagestruck is a stunning act of courage and political truth-telling., Whether you are familiar with People in Trouble , Rent , or recent gay and AIDS plays on Broadway, Stagestruck is worth reading. The politics are progressive, the jokes give chuckles, and Schulman's creative spirit flourishes throughout., What Schulman asks is simple: Must we continue sacrificing the memories of those who have died in this epidemic to hawk another album, a T-shirt, and a bottle of Absolut? Her answer in this powerful, provocative work is equally direct: Don't lie about our lives., Stagestruck showcases Schulman's persuasive voice in all its energy and eloquence. . . . Schulman is persuasive and passionate as she guides the reader to her final indictment of our entire consumer culture, one that has reduced the gay community to a marketing niche., "Sarah Schulman writes from a highly-scorned community whose members are generally cast as anonymous freaks in someone else's play.
