Fantastic Z, one of Seattle’s oldest LGBTQ specific theater companies, has announced their line-up for their annual New Works Festival set for February 15th and then a weekend run of February 20th through 23rd at the 18th & Union Arts space on the very top of Capitol Hill. 

This year’s festival will consist of two programs: a full length production of the new play IT’S ONLY KICKBALL, STUPID by Caroline Prugh, a charming lesbian romantic comedy and then “B-SIDES”, an evening of short new works which will play for two performances (Friday, February 15th at 7:30pm and Saturday, February 23rd at 2pm. $10 suggested donation.)

It’s Only Kickball, Stupid.

Fantastic.Zs 7th Annual New Works Festival
featuring:

IT’S ONLY KICKBALL, STUPID.
By Caroline Prugh

February 20th-23rd
18th and Union Arts Space

A bittersweet comedy about that first crush.

Fiona returns to her hometown and runs into her very first 6th grade crush Margo.  The two reminisce about recess and flash back to the playground in 1988 when new girl Fiona Moore and popular girl Margo Finley combined forces to bring the girl’s kickball team to victory over the boy’s.

Back then, Fiona was unable to understand why she had such strong feelings for another girl.  But now when they meet again as grown ups, is there still a spark of that grade school crush?

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.
