IS THIS A SHOW OR A PARTY?

This is more than a celebration -- it is also our decolonization of the theater space. We are presenting works by artists of color in a fun way that rejects white cultural norms like rigidity, silence and stillness.

This new format is rooted in honoring Black, brown and antiableist cultural values such as audience as participant, freedom to honor your body's needs, taking everything in its time, uplifting connection over commodity. Our hope is people of all genders, abilities and colors -- especially the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities we serve -- feel welcome, and can be themselves.

 

If you can't attend, please make a tax-deductible donation to help us continue providing paid work for artists of color. This is a critical time for our community to uplift one another. <3
