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?

 

Robocopera – NIKKI MULLER
Composed of original arias and “expert” commentary, Robocopera is equal parts love letter to Detroit’s greatest fictional hero and the operatic canon. (Watching Robocop beforehand is strongly recommended for maximum enjoyment.) A retelling of the classic 1987 action movie, sung entirely by one coloratura soprano in German (and a little Italian)? I’d buy that for a dollar!  

 

Alwaysandforever.net – KATHERYN MCGAFFIGAN
