The 2017 FRIGID Festival Presents UPSTREAM SWIMMING

In the late 80's (before having same-sex parents was considered "cool"), Dad and Pop decided they wanted to have a family. A few years and many unique attempts later - enter Lindsey: your typical 20-something year old girl, who just happens to have two gay dads.

From justifying her singleness to her puzzled fathers, to addressing her anxieties - which range from not being interesting enough to stalk, to contracting malaria on the subway - it's clear she isn't always as put-together as she looks. But is her "untraditional" upbringing to blame? Join Lindsey in this first-of-its-kind show, and hear an actual child of same-sex parents explain why, despite having spent a lifetime swimming against the current, she wouldn't have it any other way.

Because the desire to provoke social change is what compelled Lindsey to write Upstream Swimming, she will be offering same-sex couples who either have children or are considering starting a family and attend the show together FREE TICKETS to see the show. It is her hope that hearing a first-hand account from an actual child of same-sex parents might alleviate some of the doubt and/or fear that society imposes on less "traditional" parents and their family dynamics.
