A contemporary dance docu-drama. A love letter to our enemies. A transfeminist fantasia. A bad idea and a good time. Come into the mansion. Nothing bad could possibly happen.

Join Shel Silverstein, Gloria Steinum, Hugh Hefner, and various prey animals in the labyrinthine Playboy mansion to explore party planning, 70’s idealism, and the neo-liberal melodrama of the trans scapegoat via popular children’s music.

In We Quit Theatre’s signature mix of delight and iconoclasm, GLORY! mines the political, aesthetic, and libidinal contradictions of the ‘70s to grapple with our present moment of crisis. A foil to second-wave feminism and a deep throated scream for trans aliveness, GLORY! is a party you don’t want to miss.

This production is part of the Queer Voices Canada series supported by Canadian Heritage.

We Quit Theatre is a performance collaboration between transsexual artists Dasha Plett and Gislina Patterson.
