BLAKK FOR PRESIDENT events with ensemble members Tina Landau and Tarell Alvin McCraney with Ms. Joan Jett Blakk herself; the return of Broken Nose Theatre's Bechdel Fest; a new work from drag collective SADHAUS; a collaboration between Rough House and Sweven Theatre; Show Your Flames, written and performed by Devin Sanclemente; a new, universally accessible devised adaptation of Medusa; About Face Youth Theatre's KINSHIP; plus many more new acts and familiar faces.
