Joyful Raven’s Tactical Frivolity at The Marsh Berkeley

Born into a radical theater company, Joyful Raven was tasked from the tender age of 5 with the daunting mission to save the world from impending doom… using theater. Forced into animal-print unitards and political positions long before she was a consenting adult, she never had a fighting chance at anything resembling a normal life. You think your parents were embarrassing? Did you have to sing about salmon sex on stage, in a unitard, at 12 years old… WITH your parents? I didn’t think so. In an attempt to heal her hippie trauma, she runs away from home to seek solace in the arms of a spiritual teacher… and accidentally finds herself in the yoga-to-fascism pipeline. Can she save herself? Can she save the world… using theater?! Or does she have to choose? Blending standup, drag, storytelling, & clown, Raven takes audiences on a dystopian and hilarious romp through the looking glass.
