QSpeak's performances of "All of Us"

Recently I attended a SOLD OUT play called "All of Us" Performed by QSpeak, local youth performance group. They performed on three seperate days to a packed house.

I was so proud to witness history in the making, and remembering. The play is written to encourage audience participation and sharing of personal stories. Collected from a series of interviews, the monologues and other parts of the performance are truly touching and embrace a variety of the pieces of our rainbow including transgender, lesbian, gay, bistexual, questioning, queer, and more. Topics touched on include spirituality, activism, homelessness, youth, self image, oppression, and HIV/AIDS.

I hear they may extend their performances. If and when I hear of more performances of All of Us I will post them to my facebook at www.facebook.com/SisterMischief so stay tuned.

Afterwards, they announced a project in conjunction with the Tempe Historical Museum in which local groups can participate by adding LARGE scrapbook pages to the existing books on LGBT past and present...sort of a living history which continues to grow and change. Fabulous!

Well done everyone and Blessed be!
