Open Flame Theatre Presents:
An intimate, re-imagining of ‘The Garden’
May 19th-21st and 26th=28th, 2-23
Spring is finally springing here in Minnesota! And as the trees and flowers come back to life to show their true colors, Open Flame Theatre has been hard at work through the winter to bring you a new, intimate, reimagining of ‘The Garden’.
If we have been a little quiet online this winter, it’s because we’ve been training our asses off in our studio at the Ivy Building. Thanks to our director, Richard Newman, we have been honing our acting chops and diligently crafting the script/libretto for this new version of ‘The Garden’.
This performance is a ritual of reclamation for all our trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming communities. This performance is for you. It is for anyone healing from spiritual trauma because you were told you were broken or not enough. We see you. We are with you. To paraphrase poet Lucille Clifton, come join us to celebrate that every day something has tried to kill us and has failed.
Join us for the unveiling of Open Flame Theatre’s newest work May 19-21st and 26-28th at the Southern Theater. Until then, spread the word and if you are able, DONATE to our GiveMN.org campaign!
We hope to see y’all next month! Your support ensures that we can continue to make work rooted in TRANS LIBERATION!
In love, mud, blood, and solidarity,
Walken and Katie
