Crossing
Stan and Parker meet at work. This year at a National Park in a few miles south of the Canadian border, next year on the train to a ski resort, next year in another ghost town in the middle of nowhere. As seasonal tourism staff, they’re completely isolated from the American queer community. Years pass and they try to figure out how to have community in transient spaces. Crossing is a play about queer friendship and the barriers we create for ourselves when we’re afraid of being understood. Developed for a reading with the support of Pocket Theatre VR.
Transcending
So, what’s the future of gender? I got a handful of queer Chicagoans together to play theater games and figure it out. Transcending is a devised play about labor and love and gender and joy and alien blood babies. We rehearsed in parks and basements and performed in an art gallery. Transcending was supported by a DCASE IAP grant.
Meeting Points
Meeting Points follows the lives of four queer twentysomethings living in Chicago in the near future. It’s about how connecting with others and feeling understood is a survival need. It's also about apocalypses. It's also about hope and love and friendship. For two trans/nonbinary/GNC actors and two cis actors.
Meeting Points was workshopped with the support of DePaul University in 2022. Then, it was workshopped by King’s College London in 2023.
