Post-Clown Disaster, Ariel Federow and Cabaret Idiot, Sabrina Chap bring you this new works-in-progress series featuring new work from cutting edge queer artists. Built on the notion that there’s no greater inspiration than a deadline, this series forces renegade artists to bring new and developing work to an audience for the first time. Part experimentation + part guaranteed failure = 100% awesomeness.
Ariel “Speedwagon” Federow will be workshopping the second two installments of “Lavender Valley,” the world’s preeminent powerpoint lesbian soap opera.
Sabrina Chap will be performing the first half of her electric guitar radio musical, ‘Postcards from Nevermore’, visually scored by a projection from Anna Hovhannessian.
Tricia Clayton Biltmore is everyone’s favorite lesbian ally and Elizabeth Whitney’s alter ego. Hailing from Bainbridge, GA, she is the woman Elizabeth might have been if she had never left Tallahassee.
“Sisters,” Zachary Wager Scholl’s newest writing, is a work-in-progress ode to the baby gay adventure of discovery and friendship. Set to the backdrop of a working class suburb, “Sisters” is part raunch/ part tender, glimmering under the light of a gas station by the highway.
Ariel “Speedwagon” Federow’s work has been seen on Broadway, Lafayette, Houston, Chrystie, Fulton, N 6th, and other streets and avenue in NYC and beyond. Her stories, slideshows and slapstick have been seen places like LaMama ETC, Dixon Place, the Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics, Pussy Faggot, and Hey Queen! Company member: the Ballez and Butch Burlesque.
