KINDER

Booked? Yes. Blessed? No.

A drag artist in white clown make up is sitting at the bottom of a slide in a playground at night with a cigarette hanging out of their mouth. They are holding an open picture book and a plastic cup in one hand, and a lighter in the other hand. There are a few toys on the ground around them.
A drag artist in white clown make up is standing amongst an assortment of toys in the middle of a playground at night. They are pushing a small cart with a plush monkey in it in one direction, and are trying to kick over a children's push-along car in the other direction.
A drag artist in white clown make up and a manic smile is lying on the ground of an outdoor playground at night. They are surrounded by toys, including a book, small push-along bike and car, a plush monkey and turtle and some outdoor water toys. One of their legs is tangled through the openings of the push-along car toy.

After an unexpected call from a local library derails the headline performance of a drag reading hour, the barely digestible and wholly intolerable Goody Prostate must scramble together a new act for a crowd of unruly children and their parents.

But as they race against the clock to pull off a new number in time, they spiral into a chaotic interrogation of childhood, memory, and a long overdue examination of what it means to 'grow up'.

A response to the rise in reactionary politics around the exposure of children to queerness, join Goody as they read between the lines of the opposition and craft a timely reminder of the lesson to not judge a book by its cover (girl).

The library is open. So sit down, be quiet, and listen up; there’s a new story to check out. Because sometimes, reading is what?
Fundamentalist.
