This piece of poetic theatre takes place in 2016. I remember the immediate surge of hatred, of walking home from the first pride in Bowling Green, Kentucky and being called the f-slur. And yet I have to say this is a piece of today. About today. I think about the news story about the drag bar and the blackout from earlier this year. The threats and violence against queer people, especially trans and gender nonconforming people, people who perform drag. How infuriating. How great the angry power of hope at the end. We are together. We must be together. Beautiful.

Really loved this play. The sense of place is alive as these three individuals look back and look ahead at what is possible when people come together for each other.

This is a fierce and beautiful play! The irregular rhythms and hilarious/human patterns of everyday speech are captured so well here in three dynamic and distinct characters who live at identity intersections consistently and unfortunately neglected in produced work. That finely-tuned realism is counterbalanced by some glorious poetry towards the end of the piece with two of the most wonderful monologues I've read in a while which gave me the chills. The theatrical conceits of cleaning the bar throughout, the time jumps, and the aural landscape heighten the theatricality of the piece. Hope to see this produced soon!
