SovereignFestival17

Here’s an interesting theater festival that showcases the voices and stories of black, queer womyn. It’s the SOVEREIGN FESTIVAL happening at the 18th & Union Theater space NEXT weekend, Thursday November 9th through Sunday, November 12th.

Here’s the scoop:

Sovereign
a production of Earth Pearl Collective

Seattle’s First Black Queer One Womyn Show Festival, Sovereign highlights the multifaceted talents of black queer womyn. In its inaugural year the spectrum of shows range from new artists to the scene like Angel Gardner to an evening of comedic realness by Om Jahari, joined by veteran performer and Civic Poet Anastacia Renee, and many more. The intersections of these womyn’s stories are as empowering as they are heart breaking and evocative.

Featuring: Anastacia Renee, Om Jahari, Namii, Angel Gardner, Po’Chop, and Amber Flame

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
