Exclusive Interview: Lindel Salow and Jay Kaplan of The Ringwald’s ‘Silver Foxes’

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I can understand the importance of a found family, especially as we grow older. Those that we choose are just as important as the family we’re born into, and in many ways more so. Common experiences, both positive and negative, unite us, strengthening our resolve in the face of adversity. However, at times, I worry about what that will look like as I enter middle age and beyond, an idea that is explored in The Ringwald Theatre’s latest production, Silver Foxes! Just wrapping up its opening weekend, we’re taking a closer look at the project, speaking with two of the actors who are giving their all for the show: Lindel Salow and Jay Kaplan.
In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, Salow and Kaplan discuss the importance of a show such as Silver Foxes, as there isn’t enough media depicting gay men entering the second half of their lives. Both actors share their process for embodying these characters and the privilege (and challenge) of bringing them to life at The Ringwald Theatre. With a story that transcends ages and stages, Salow and Kaplan explore how Silver Foxes is bridging gaps and hopefully making the world a better, more tolerant place.
