SOLOCOM NYC’25: SOUCHACK/MULLER/MCGAFFIGAN

I Belong at Flannel Fridays – HOLLY SOUCHACK

Figuring out you’re queer is the easy part, thanks Youtube!, the real tricky part is finding out what spaces you belong in. In this new solo piece, Holly explores figuring out her sexauilty and attempting to find her place in the LGBTQIA+ community. What does it mean to be “straight appearing”? Can she have a boyfriend and still call herself “bi”? She has a septum, piercing sure, but does that mean she can attend Flannel Fridays, a mainly lesbian dance night? Where does she truly…belong?

A gripping exploration of the methodical mind of a female stalker. Paralyzed by feeling lost and trapped in her own life, she follows others to discover new ways to live. A former runaway with a troubled past, she gets her second chance at life from the most unlikely project: by following and meticulously researching her high-achieving college classmate, whose life is in stark contrast to her own. On a desperate quest for direction and identity, her innocent admiration for him quickly becomes obsession.
