Special Event, Performance: BLOCKS OF SENSATION
A one-woman performance, written and performed by Kim Barke.

Under the scalpel gaze of Kim Barke, poet and former scientist who studied addiction with funding from NIDA, Blocks of Sensation bushwacks into the tragic irony of queer mothering an adult addict 27 years after leaving the lab. This raw elegy, This raw elegy, directed by Linda Mussmann, is an unflinching journey into the heart of human behavior and the meaning of truth. Witness the metamorphosis of shame into art.

Tickets $12.50 TSL Members, $15 General.
