QUEER @ HERE

Red Tide

June 14

A Ten Toes Theater Collective Reading/Created by Dom Martello

Her cat went missing and she’s being haunted by a ghost. He just got out of a long-term relationship and can’t hold down a job. They’re strangers stuck in a house, waiting out a hurricane on Florida’s Gulf Coast. All they have are board games, old CDs, a few cartons of milk, and hope that the house’s foundation is strong enough to withstand the storm. This supernatural love story chronicles grief, transness, and the shifting current of American politics.

Ten Toes Theater Collective is a collaborative group of trans theater artists producing community events through new-play readings. It supports grassroots organizations across the 31 states with proposed anti-trans legislation. This collective has ten toes planted firmly on the earth to further the livelihood and well-being of trans folks across state lines. These readings are free for the community.
