FEATURING LOUIE PASCASIO & LOVIEN 'JOEY' FLORES!
The Center for New Possibilities
Friday, June 12, 2009
1505 W Morse Ave
7 to 9 PM
On June 12, in celebration of Philippine national day, Queering the Night features Louie Pascasio and Lovien 'Joey' Flores.
Louie Pascasio is a theater artist whose work revolves around directing, music composing and on some rare occasions, writing for the stage. He's been involved with theater for as long as his gray hair has seen the light of day. He has directed plays for PETA (Philippine Educational Theater Association), Pintig Cultural Group, CIRCA, Bindlestiff Studio and Asian AIDS Project in San Francisco. He is currently the Executive Director for CIRCA Pintig. He works at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools.
Joey is excited to take the centerstage as a writer. While a closet poet, she is one of CIRCA Pintig's favorite actors and was last seen as Charlie at its May 2008's production of Short Acts 2. Her acting credits also include Caregiver and Mirrors Remembered for Open Wound, Manimal Crackers for Short Acts 1, Dreamweavers, and Sister Outlaw. She will be reading original work as well as performing memorable stage roles.
At the open mic, artists may share work that deal with race, class, gender, immigration, and other serious issues that contextualize a queer identity, but may also talk about family, love, relationships, sex, and other experiences that make for a full and exciting existence in a terribly homophobic world. We're excited to have Xan Sutton back as QTN's hostess extraordinaire.
