SPORTS!

Two teams – LAVA and OBSIDIAN battle for ultimate SPORTS glory! Are our knees past their prime? YES. Are we good at SPORTS? YES AND NO AND ALSO KINDA. So why are we playing sports? Because now we’re ADULTS and there’s questions we can only answer in the SWEAT-POURING, HEART-POUNDING HEAT OF COMPETITION that we sure as hell couldn’t answer in middle school gym class.

We take the field to FIND OUT–what’s the line between HEALTHY and UNHEALTHY competition? What MYTHIC VERSIONS of ourselves are awakened in the whole-body pursuit of victory?

So will YOU be there to root on your team and guide them to glory? HELL FREAKIN YEAH.

And listen–is your relationship with sports kinda complicated? OURS TOO. Some of us were going to be headed for the OLYMPICS but it SUCKED THE JOY OUT OF COMPETING. Some of us went to college to play volleyball and then tore our Achilles and found THEATER. Some of us avoided sports as much as we could because of TOXIC MASCULINITY. As queer people, people with bodies past peak athletic performance, and artists, what belonging can we find as we collectively DUNK ON OUR DEMONS?

SO DON’T MISS this one-time-only professionally performed, athletically amateur, everything-on-the-line SPORTS EXTRAVAGANZA.
