  • Created and Performed by: Ryan Stewart

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.
