February 13, 14, 20, 21, 2016 at 2:00 PM ASL Interpreted performance: February 24 at 7:30 PM Industry night performance: February 23 at 7:30 PM Post-Show Conversation: February 21 following 2:00 PM performance The Southern Theater 1420 Washington Ave S Minneapolis, MN Conceived and directed by Hannah K. Holman Created with Umbrella Collective and the ensemble Set in pre-Stonewall America, June explores the roles we play and the secrets we hide. As McCarthyism abounds and the burgeoning queer social scene picks up steam, an ensemble of women grappling with fear, love, and identity explore what it means to be seen—by themselves, by each other, and by a society that may not be ready to see them as they are. Audiences described the 2014 work-in-progress as mysterious, human, incisive, daring, magnetic, and “a crisp delight / a tangy surprise”. Umbrella Collective uses music, movement, and text to dig even further into themes of gender and sexual identity turning the traditional mid-century American narrative on it's head. Presented as part of the Southern Theater’s ARTshare. We will be hosting a post-show conversation on February 21, 2016 (after the 2:00 PM performance) to talk about the historical and contemporary context of the play and the lives of queer women. The conversation will include:
ARTshare members attend for free ($18/mo. for all-you-can-theater all year long)! Single tickets can be purchased for $24.
