Abstract
In his 1995 essay, “Theorizing a Queer Theatre: Buddies in Bad Times,”RobertWallace suggests that Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is an“imaginative construction”whose“theatrical subjectivity,” like itsmandate, is not fixed, but has been constantly evolving since the company began to produce work in 1979 (137).Wallace goes on to argue that Buddies underwent a “literal and figurative reconstruction of [its] theatrical subjectivity” (138) when the company renovated and moved into its current home at the Alexander Street Theatre Project in 1994 and changed itsmandate to nominate itself a “queer theatre.” Using Wallace’s essay as a point of departure, I examine the interim decade at Buddies to chart the shifting meaning of the term queer as it has been employed to define the company’smandate from1994 to the present.
