THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT & IMMEDIATE PIECE OF THEATRE PRODUCED BY YOUTH IN CHICAGO I HAVE EVER SEEN. The intentionally critical ways in which intersections of identity are discussed in relationship to current national and local issues is vital for all members of the queer community to recognize and celebrate. DO NOT MISS the opportunity to see these historically powerful new voices.
——
Back by popular demand!! About Face Youth Theatre is remounting the play that empowered voices, got people laughing, and incited meaningful community dialogue!!
WHAT’S THE T? is back for 8 performances only!
Internet personality/trans activist/ fierce community leader Ms. Ma uses her YouTube page to create community, live glamour, and spread the good word about queer safe spaces in Chicago. WHAT’S THE T tells the story of Ms. Ma’s tangled web of connections, her struggle to stay positive, and what happens to her community when she disappears.
Inspired by issues of race, gender, age and class in Boystown, WHAT’S THE T is based on true stories and interviews from LGBTQA youth and adults in and around Chicago.

"Nonviolence is an inherently privileged position in the modern context. Besides the fact that the typical pacifist is quite clearly white and middle class, pacifism as an ideology comes from a privileged context. It ignores that violence is already here; that violence is an unavoidable, structurally integral part of the current social hierarchy; and that it is people of color who are most affected by that violence. Pacifism assumes that white people who grew up in the suburbs with all their basic needs met can counsel oppressed people, many of whom are people of color, to suffer patiently under an inconceivably greater violence, until such time as the Great White Father is swayed by the movement’s demands or pacifists achieve that legendary “critical mass."

-Peter Gelderlos, Why Nonviolence Protects the State- Nonviolence is Racist (via tahlalaliaaa)
Note gelderloos is white and an activist who went to jail and learned a lot from within the system. Learned a lot from poc in prison and is pretty young too. I think he makes a lot of credits to poc and Black people make a large part of the biblio of this book from what I remember
(via strugglingtobeheard)
“…to suffer patiently under an inconceivably greater violence…”
It’s soul crushing. It’s integral, it aches so far back into our genes we can feel it threatening to ache our cells asunder. And when cruelty comes under the guise of professionalism, even and often niceness, we are treated like volatile, fire-spitting, unstable people who are overreacting to what we painfully learn is considered nothing - just like our lives and our well-being is considered - because somehow polite words are enough to sweep under the rug unconscionable horrors.

as if blown by wind, the sun-blazing storyboard p, gives what I would contend to be a homage to jackson and 70`s disco and soul. however the radiation and lack of gravity boil over.
