World Premiere of TEARS AND GLITTER and MIMETIC DESIRE Comes to Backdoor Theatre

Salt & Sage will present the Glitter & Desire, the World Premieres of playwright Mikki Gillette’s Tears and Glitter & Mimetic Desire, playing in rep from May 30th through June 29th at the Backdoor Theatre.

In this moment, when the federal government is waging an all-out attack on the trans community, it’s never been more urgent to share authentic trans stories. Glitter & Desire is answering that call with these ensemble shows featuring eleven trans actors playing trans roles. Tears and Glitter engages with this political moment directly, depicting a community of trans activists responding to anti-trans governmental attacks and white nationalism in an unnamed red state, while Mimetic Desire is a comedy, celebrating trans joy via the dating mishaps of an incestuous trans friend group in college.
