In this one afternoon reading event, experience Jayne Deely's 'unqle play;' witness unqle and fave navigate their relationship, shared legacy, and points of divergence within the epic container of one final negotiation of terms. What does it mean to tell someone’s story, how much we can ask of those who leave us, and how do we say goodbye? Join us for this vaudevillian journey of love, grief, Sondheim, and community through time, a titanic debate of queerness within multiple generations of the same family that asks ‘how do we both honor the work of those on whose shoulders we stand while also taking ownership of our moment?’
There will be a Sunday community meal at 12:30pm (following Sunday morning service) prior to the performance at 2pm, which will then be followed by a post show conversation facilitated by Judson's Senior Minister, Rev. Micah Bucey.
