Playground Lessons at Dixon Place

The show focuses on risk-taking on stage as both performer and observer explore the common experiences of envy, pain and shame through a queer lens. As a group of queer artists in a time of severe cultural and political division, we long for self-expression in the face of societal pressures to be 'normal.' The show aims to answer the question: how far can we take that expression without alienating the very people we need to lift us up? Is simply being a queer person in 2018 an act of rebellion—and if it is, how can we do that while remaining unified with everyone else around us?
