A high-spirited, comedic, at times irreverent and other times vulnerable music-filled production that examines queerness as a place of personal and cultural innovation. And, like any place of innovation and experimentation that has strong aesthetics at work, there is the ever-present danger for appropriation and commodification by capitalist, patriarchal systems. With any visibility comes the danger of this commodification and the play wrestles with identities being marketed and examines "what is being sold". It suggests that, potentially, queerness may only successfully exist outside of capitalist structures and asks us to consider if it can operate within them. It was devised by queer-identifying performers and drama therapists in NYU's As Performance research series and written by actor and playwright Jess Barbagallo and directed by Alexis Powell.
