‘The Cradle Will Rock’ Goldman Theater DCJCC (10/5-13) andBaltimore Theatre Project (10/18-20)Inseries.org Robin McGinness, an accomplished Baltimore-based transfemme baritone, knows a lot about music.
Also, as a gender nonconforming performer she’s learned how to navigate and carve out a career in opera. Currently, she is playing Mr.
Mister in the IN Series production of “The Cradle Will Rock,” a 1937 Brechtian allegory of corporate greed written and composed by Marc Blitzstein who was openly gay when that wasn’t an easy thing to be.
IN Series, D.C.’s innovative opera theater, which happens to rank high among McGinness’s favorite companies, infuses its take on a seldom seen classic with new energy, humor, melody, and a thirst for justice.
