The Lesbian Play (Trash Fest)

On the night of the 2016 presidential election, Boston University's Women Loving Women Club gathers at their president's Back Bay apartment to celebrate the birthday of one of their own. With tensions already bubbling and cracking under the surface and their inner relationships with one another on the brink of extinction, the Women Loving Women Club is thrust into political turmoil as they wage war on each other over their political identities, the definition of lesbianism, and who can even consider themselves "LGBTQ".

The Lesbian Play, in coordination with Trashfest at The Tank, has been envisioned as a no-waste, sustainable and committed environmentally-friendly production.

The Lesbian Play is a one-act full length play with a runtime of approximately 90-100 minutes. There is no intermission.

GREEN (Trash Fest)

GREEN is a live performance collaboration between YES Theater and the brand new groovy musical group Grass Future Society. Taking the form of a pared down concert of Grass Future Society's upcoming album GREEN, there will be recycled-mask dancers telling the abstracted narrative of the album, which is essentially about being stuck inside and looking out the window to see the world on fire. (Sound familiar!?) The project is grounded in finding the joy and beauty in community, and to represent the possibility of proving the opposite of the narrative of isolation and destruction.

Trash and Dark Fest 3D-1920x1080-Current View.png

This year brings the return of both of The Tank’s eco-forward festivals: Trash Fest and Dark Fest! For years, The Tank has hosted DarkFest - a week of shows that does not use conventional theatrical lighting in an effort to reexamine how we can make theater more sustainable. With the pandemic forcing our physical theater to close, we challenged that idea further with TrashFest. It is often difficult to wrestle with the environmental impact our daily lives and our work can have - especially in theater, where so many resources are needed to develop sets, props, and costumes that are only used for a short amount of time. Trash Fest centers work that not only produces no waste, but reuses materials discarded as garbage while Dark Fest celebrates innovative performance that utilizes self-sufficient and alternative energy sources.
