Wednesday, November 23 · 7:30pm - 10:00pm
More Info Doors Open @ 7:30pm - Curtain at 8pm - Symposium after the performance
Jackie's Not a Real Girl: A Play for Voices
The (true) story of a transwoman who is sent to a men's prison.
She survives
… Almost
Based on a true story, Jackie's not a Real Girl traces the events surrounding the life, imprisonment and death of a transgendered sex trade worker. The narrative is developed by using the testimony of the people around her. These witnesses to her last days include a best friend, a barfly, a cop, a prison warden, a social worker and a John.
The performance lasts 1hour 15 minutes and is performed using minimal staging and back projections from the graphic novel.
It's a fantastic performance space (absolutely perfect)... But it is fairly small... so once we get things sorted, it's probably a good idea to reserve your spot(s) in advance
Tickets are $10 and are available from Buddies' box office 416.975.8555 |
