Fighting Fire With Fabulous Article Summary

The article, "Fighting Fire With Fabulous," written by Dana Casadei, is about the Dambacher brothers challenging the Westboro Baptist Church for its "vile hate mongering." The article focuses on the brother's latest project: The Freaka in Topek. This project is a rock and roll based show consisting of music will that is Detroit influenced. The show will be produced by the brothers- Scott working on the story and Dave doing the score. According to the article, the show’s goal is to bring a diverse amount of people together. The Dambacher brothers feel very passionately about fighting against intolerance and celebrating freedom, which is why they will put on the show for free, despite the $50,000 cost to produce. The Dambacher brothers intend to change people’s perspective by interacting with the “freaka” group of people.

This diverse group of people includes “artists, musicians, freaks, everybody.” However, Scott and Dave cannot put on the show alone. They will need around 15-20 people to fill roles in their show to make it come alive. The brothers will be advertising through social media. Both Scott and Dave feel very passionately about putting on the show for the people and changing their perspectives. I am intrigued by how they want to bring a diverse amount of people together, and I support the show’s purpose. Diversity is important in many different aspects because it enables people to have a better understanding of each other, and this show will bring that understanding to a whole new level.

Jack White – and the cast, which includes Scott, will all be
local. There will be an open call, probably in February, to fill

the rest of the 15-20 roles.
