SUMMARY:Author Event: Enid Brain’s play GIRL: A Gender Expression
DESCRIPTION:A queer playwrights’ craft hour\\, followed by a reading an
 d discussion of Enid Brain’s new play GIRL: A Gender Expression.\\nJoin
  us for a playwrights’ craft hour\\, reading\\, and discussion of Enid 
 Brain’s newest play\\, GIRL: a gender expression.\\nLooking inward and 
 outward\\, Girl&#8230\\; is a rage against transphobia\\, a reflection on
  artistic\\, sexual\\, and gender anxiety\\, a philosophical auto-theoret
 ical contemplation of what life in the current moment means\\, a politica
 l treatise\\, and a moment for community.\\nAlso hopefully it&#8217\\;s f
 unny and not depressing? Too many trans plays are depressing. Mixing dial
 ogue\\, speeches\\, dance sequences\\, and everything in between\\, Girl&
 #8230\\; is a radical demand for specificity\\, self-acceptance\\, and a 
 deconstruction of the traditional ways that plays are created that attemp
 ts to move\\, enrage\\, comfort\\, and challenge its audience.\\nFeaturin
 g performers Ry Albinus\\, Aster Drewe\\, and Carmen Castillo. \\nEnid B
