coop: the lesbian chicken play
What happens when you need to get to the hospital for a severed thumb but you don't have a car 'cause it's too expensive and you can't get an ambulance 'cause it's too expensive but you ALSO can't get a driver 'cause it's too expensive? You hitchhike, of course. And what do you get when you hitchhike without a thumb? Well, you get "coop." "coop", colloquially known as "the lesbian chicken play," takes a look into the messy lives of lesbian farmers, Clove and B. Facing addiction, financial insecurity, and queer elders that don't know they're queer elders, these lesbians attempt to find more life amongst their survival.

The Confessional
Molly, a nun-in-training, has a secret. One she must only reveal to the lord, lest she get thrown out of the nunnery. And it may or may not have something to do with the time she lost her virginity to Chiara in the pews… two days ago. After bible study. In this two person play, Molly heads to the confessional to bare her soul to the Lord, revealing, recounting, and reliving her secrets to the priest, who is not as invested in privacy as a priest guiding confession should be. Molly risks her place in the convent keeping Chiara’s identity a secret, trying to weigh what’s more important– what the church thinks is right, and what she thinks is right.

THREE SCORPIONS WALK INTO A BAR
Bone, a butch lesbian, waits in a bar for her also butch lover to arrive so they can discuss their relationship troubles. When a straight man interrupts Bone's waiting to hit on them, Bone serves his ass back to him on a silver platter. THREE SCORPIONS WALK INTO A BAR rips apart the patriarchy and spits in its face, demanding an answer as to why straight people feel so entitled to infiltrate and take gay spaces away from its inhabitants. Through these rough exteriors, hardened facades, and explorations of lesbianism, we discover we are all just scorpions: glowing in the dark not because of anything innate, but emitting light because of the rays beamed onto us from others.
