a part of it is the story of a ghost named Tommy from 1999, who confronts his best friend Jackie, in the present. a part of it is 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’s about the struggles and the joys in life, and it’s a little love letter to the theatre.

Queer performance duo jkjk invite you to a free reading of their piece-in-progress a part of it.  

Written and Directed by jkjk | Cast includes the inimitable khattieQ & Heather Hanna
