Poems of An Angry Feminist
Produced and conceived by Fatima Matar

Poems of an Angry Feminist is a thought-provoking, multimedia performance, bringing together poetry, music, dance, and imagery. With a strong feminist voice running through her poems, award-winning poet Fatima Matar gives a moving performance on themes of sexism, misogyny, domestic violence, sexual harassment at work, and social justice. Interested in capturing the human experience, Fatima’s poetry also touches on her experience of migration, belonging, motherhood, loss, and depression.

Fatima’s performance has been described as powerful, profound, moving, spellbinding, and poignant.

The Stars Made Me Gay: Queer Anthology Vol. 1
By Lauren Lash
Directed by Kate Smith
Produced by Jeannine Gaskin

The Stars Made Me Gay: Queer Anthology Vol. 1 by Lauren Lash is the debut installment of the Queer Anthology Project, a powerful collection of monologues and scenes crafted from interviews with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. This first volume shines a spotlight on the voices and experiences of bisexual/pansexual, lesbian, and transmasculine people, capturing their heartfelt stories of identity, resilience, and the search for belonging. Through these narratives, The Stars Made Me Gay offers a moving exploration of queer longing and the quest for community.

Lauren is currently working on future installments of Queer Anthology. If you are interested in seeing your story on-stage, you can email queeranthologists@gmail.com to set up an interview.
