GenderTalks
You are invited to the World Premiere of GenderTalks, “an exciting and timely documentary theatre project about trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming folks’ experiences of gender.” These real-life stories come from online conversations between folks in Dane County, Wisconsin, and Blackhawk County Iowa, and have been artfully blended together by playwright Orion Risk.
Join us for a short talkback with playwright Orion Risk and director Finch Moore at the conclusion of Saturday’s performance.
Donations will be accepted and all proceeds will go to Cedar Valley Pride in Blackhawk Co, IA, and Outreach MAGIC Festival: A Pride Celebration in Dane Co, WI.
