Events from our friends
SEE A PLAY WITH US IN DECEMBER! Trans Lineage is a series of plays (by many Joy Who Lived friends) about trans folks through time, running this December. Join us Dec 5 for a meetup at this event,or go see it on your own. You’ll see electric world premiere pieces by three trans playwrights, exploring rites of passage across centuries and cultures: a Black transmasculine griot reclaiming ancestral memory, a transfeminine nun confronting faith and isolation during the bubonic plague, and a gay Korean trans man trying to outrun aging and “twink death.” Tickets here!
Thank you!
