CHIRP

About

Set in a studio apartment in South L.A., CHIRP follows a Black American T4T couple simply trying to celebrate their three-year anniversary on a terrible, no good, very bad day. When Remi surprises Naseego with a life-altering anniversary gift, what should be romantic instead detonates years of accumulated ideological differences. Loosely based on a true love, this intimate, humorous, & politically urgent two-hander explores what it means to sustain Black trans love when America won't stop sounding the alarm. HIGH QUALITY RESPIRATORS PROVIDED & REQUIRED. The Juneteenth reading (June 19th) is a Black & Trans Night; we ask that attendees honor this as a space centering a Black trans audience. Content Awareness: The dialogue includes references to state violence & ICE; anti-Black racism & lynching; transphobia; family rejection; environmental disaster; & contains curse words. The Under St Marks Theater is a Basement theater, with no wheelchair access.
