SORORITY : OUT
October 11, 2017 at Bootleg Theater
“…a high-minded variety hour/art party for the ages…” – 5 Every Day
SORORITY is a performance k-hole evoking the New York City art scene of the 80s and 90s. Curated and hosted by Gina Young and centering the work of women, trans and queer performers, SORORITY is a space for experimental works-in-progress, script-in-hand readings, theatrical situations and vulnerable solo work. It’s a wild, intellectual party that attracts lines out the door.
The theme for this round is OUT.
