The Storage Closet is a new play by Emma Jean Eastlund that explores the world of GoGo dancing through a raw, femme-driven narrative of survival, sisterhood, and reclamation. Set within the storage closet of a nightclub, it follows a group of women as they navigate the chaos of nightlife while holding onto their dreams and power. This gritty and poetic story pays tribute to the women of GoGo and all femme artists who continue to create against the odds.
