Pussy Party

Pussy is a contentious word with a complex history. A term of endearment long before it was a term of abuse, this powerful word is finally being reclaimed, much like the word queer has been reclaimed, to free and empower those whom it has long oppressed. Join Thinking Cap Theatre and Thou Art Woman, along with community partner HRC, for an evening of activities, performances, and conversation that explore historical and contemporary meanings of PUSSY.

Test your PUSSY IQ in real time with live results. Enjoy brand new spoken word; original art; performances of monologues and scenes from cutting-edge plays by LGBTQ+ playwrights; and a Q & A with artists and experts all on the theme of, you guessed it, PUSSY!

Additional Details: Drinks and concessions available for purchase at The Vanguard bar and partnering Food Trucks starting at 6:30pm.

Call for Artists: Spoken word (1 to 2 minutes max.) and visual artists are invited to submit new, original work on the theme of the event for consideration to be included in the evenings programming. Artists are encouraged to explore thoughtfully the cultural (symbolic) and material (embodied or lived) meanings of pussy from past to present.
