Guess what? Registration is PAH* open for our upcoming online Spring cycle starting in March. We are offering ASL 101 – 104!

*fun fact: PAH means “finally!” “at last!” “I did it!” in ASL – we write PAH to represent this sign as we use this mouthshape while signing this sign.

ASL Performance of Mx on Feb 24

Mx
FEB 18-24, ASL performance on FEB 24 at 5 pm PST
ASL interpreters: Courage Bacchus & Hodan Youssouf
Beneath layers of identity, can blood equal belonging?

What of our culture lives within us, and how much is determined by our upbringing?  If a part of your identity has never been nurtured, do attempts to rekindle it amount to appropriation?

Seeking answers to these questions, our gender-questioning and mixed-race protagonist, Max, meets the famed Mz Nancy, our host for the night. Witty and glamorous, Nancy seems to have an answer for everything… but, as Max discovers, things are never black and white.

This boundary-pushing, bouffon-inspired work explores what it means to be mixed-race and Black in the world today. Using bold risks, sharp comedy, and African mythology, Mx cracks open struggles of identity and belonging through the lens of a character stuck in the in-between.
