11:00PM: Split (Rae Langes) - I'm a queer androgyne queen that loves to wear ties and dandy hats some days and high heels with skirts cut above the knees others—but there's a ruckus in the ladies' room and the cops and johns want to beat on this fag. I'm coming to a neighborhood near you to let it all hang out (don't get too excited), so we can get to the bottom of this.


SUNDAY, MAY 4TH

2:00PM: Over the Polychromatic Chasm [Fringe Emerging Artists Project] (Maria Enriquez). One little girl loses herself in fantasy with her imaginary friend, Dorothy, from The Wizard of Oz in order to escape abuse. Another woman embarks on her own journey down the yellow brick road in a search to find God.

Innocence and loss, faith and doubt, and the ways to reconcile them are explored as each woman searches for her own safe place to call home.
