a part of it
by jkjk
Jan. 25 - Feb. 02
a part of it is the story of a ghost named Tommy from 1999, who confronts his best friend Jackie, in the present. It’s a dark comedy with song that centers two teenagers, the ghost Tommy from the past and Jackie’s daughter Val in 2023. It is a piece about self-harm and queer identity. It is about the struggles and the joys in life, and it a little love letter to the theatre.
jkjk is married couple and creative collaborators punk rocker khattieQ and experimental theatre artist Jenny Larson-Quiñones. Our mission: We write and produce live theater performances that capture the Queer experience while exploring the heart of the human condition by centering joy, foolishness, and social justice.
