This Friday and Saturday, I'm taking part in a staged reading of the new work from playwright Nelle Tankus. SLACK WATER is the story of Semmie (Miss Violet DeVille), an elder trans woman who is pregnant and wasn't just a few days ago. She demands that it should be a natural birth or nothing at all, tasking her children, Pearl (Sam Ro) and Marge (Jordi Montes), with helping her carry her miraculous child to term.
This staged reading of Slack Water is open to the public via Zoom on Friday, November 19th at 7:00 pm PT with a 15-minute talkback afterward, and Saturday, November 20th at 7:00 pm PT.
Starring: Miss Violet DeVille (she/her/they/them), Sam Ro (they/them), and Jordi Montes (she/her/they/them)
This reading will be close captioned in English using Zoom's captioning function.
This reading takes place on the traditional territories of the Duwamish, the first people of this land, past, and present. To learn more about how to be in the right relationship with the Duwamish, please visit https://www.realrentduwamish.org/

We believe theatre should be accessible to all, therefore there is no cost to attend, but there is a suggested donation of $10. This money will go to paying the artists and supporting the reading.
Please send your donations to the playwright's Venmo @nelletankus.
