Presented in partnership with Modlin Center for the Arts, Department of Theatre & Dance, and Hub for Student Inclusion & Community.
ABOUT SPLIT BRITCHES
Founded in New York in 1980 with Deb Margolin, Split Britches “is about a community of outsiders, queers, eccentrics – feminist because it encourages the imaginative potential in everyone, and lesbian because it takes presence of a lesbian on stage as a given.”
Their latest work Last Gasp: A Recalibration, a meditation on demise – demise of aging bodies, civil conversations, and a sustainable planet, will be performed at Modlin Center on November 14 & 15. Get more info and tickets.
