“I’m here and I’m having a blast and I’m really good,” says Rachel Crowl in her new role as Princess Kate

By Camryn Bowden

The slate of Off-Broadway plays tend to be a variety of classic plays, interesting think pieces and some of the stuff that wouldn’t slide on the big stage. One of those plays is Prince Faggot.

This Studio Seaview production is the telling of the first out, gay member of the royal family, interspersing the real lived experiences of 6 queer and trans actors. Rachel Crowl is one of those performers.

Crowl started her theater experience out of high school in a repertory theater group in New York City, eventually growing and shifting into different roles in indie films, television and voice acting. Back at the beginning of 2025, she auditioned for this play, not knowing what it was ultimately about.

Now, she has performed in over 130 shows and been featured on the cover of Vogue Magazine for her role in the play as Princess Kate Middleton. This happening all while also being in Sterlin Harjo’s The Lowdown, an FX series starring Ethan Hawke.

In this interview on WRHU’s Queerly Informed, Crowl talks to WRHU’s Camryn Bowden about the experience of getting involved in Prince Faggot. She also talks about the experiences she’s had in her role as Princess Kate and the political climate outside the theater that makes this provocative play so powerful.
