Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Jamie Steele

Crushing is a genre-defiant live show where multidisciplinary artists—playwrights, actors, novelists, poets, comedians—perform true stories from their love lives onstage.

Our performers are award-winning novelists, MacDowell Fellows, Off-Broadway playwrights, formerly incarcerated artists, and more.
They will be shedding light on everything from dating as a drag queen to navigating love through incarceration to living through the AIDS epidemic to modern dating “situationship” woes and more. Each story is taking a unique shape and they fit together to create an evening that is personal, profound, cathartic, hilarious, and eye-opening.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
