I am not the things my family did
I am not the voices in my head
I am not the pieces of the brokenness inside
I am light

Join us for this unique fundraising event, which includes:
Experience a Theatrical Reading of The Screenplay
Featuring Violet de Besche and Bobbie Steinbach
Meet the Creative Team behind The Adversary
Nik Cook, Writer & Director
Tris Arthur, Producer, Overexposed Productions
Karen Zasloff, Puppeteer
The Adversary is a queer horror-comedy short film. Vowing to spend a day in silent contemplation to rescue himself from malaise, trans writer Seb foists himself between his smoke detector, which manifests a godly intelligence, and his demonically-empowered, puppeteered cat. This slapstick spiritual struggle between puppet and actor dramatizes our relationships with the objects around us, using comedy to crack open the barriers between us and the odd, joyous beauty of the material world.

Conceived and directed by Irina Kruzhilina
A live theatrical performance and staged public tribunal from theatre-maker Irina Kruzhilina, Notice to Appear exposes the dysfunctional dynamics of the U.S. immigration courts and the opaque forces determining asylum seekers' fate. It interrogates the roles of all court actors—and the public’s responsibility—in the asylum crisis.
