I’m Never Going to Earth Again: 60 Queer Plays in 90 Queer Minutes

By: A big old queer collective

February 8, 2019 (Minneapolis/St. Paul) -- What can you experience 60 of
for $20 in 90 minutes? Plays! At least you can with “I’m Never Going to
Earth Again: 60 Queer Plays in 90 Queer Minutes”. You won’t believe your
eyes as you become immersed in this fast-paced amalgamation of one-act
plays, monologues, chants, improv, song, and dance. Tantalizing and
vulnerable works of sci-fi, magical realism and fantasy allow us to tell
you what is important to us. Walk a mile alongside us with the realism and
absurdism of family, mental illness, queer community, grief, love, and
zombies. Whether you are an alien, a euphemism, a healer or the God of
Death, you will find something titillating to stimulate your senses.

I’m Never Going to Earth Again: 60 Queer Plays in 90 Queer Minutes allows
for several Minneapolis’s marginalized voices taking center stage.
Cassandra Snow directs and writes for this eclectic anthology with the
acting talents of Jada Pulley, Joey Ripley, Jex Arzayus, Zealot Hamm, Lyssa
Sparrow, Ming Hsu and Gadfly Co-Artistic Director Immanuel Elliott. Most of
the cast served as writers for the 60 Queer Plays along with Eli
Effinger-Weintraub, Gabriela Santiago, and Kassha Lisinski. Lisinski serves
as sound designer as well, with Jada Beulah stage managing this rich piece
of theatre. This show is urgent and exciting and this writing team and cast
have brought their best and wickedest work yet. This wickedly inclusive
journey features a cast of queer, non-binary, and transgender people who
are… out of this world. Let us help you transcend the limits of your mortal
coil.


The play will be at Strike Theatre on March 15th-17th and 21st-24th. All
shows are at 7:30 PM except Sunday matinees, which are at 3:00 PM. Tickets
to I’m Never Going to Earth Again: 60 Queer Plays in 90 Queer Minutes are
$15 in advance and $20 at the door for a regular show, and features three
Pay-What-You-Can performances on Sunday matinees and Thursday evening.
