Men Explain Things to Us… And We Like It!
a livestream talkshow by We Quit Theatre
FEBRUARY 6 + 13 + 20, 9:30-10:30pm CST
Two impulsive, unpredictable, extravagantly gendered late-night talkshow hosts — Dasha Plett and Gislina Patterson — invite real life men into a cardboard and construction paper television studio to talk about their passions, fears, and what it’s like to be a man. Performed live for a small in-studio audience, live-screened by community partners across the country, or streamed directly to your laptop, Men Explain Things to Us… And We Like It! plays in the space between reality and performance to transgress and re-write the unwritten rules and social etiquette of gender relations. Directed and live-edited by Ryan Steel, with musical performances curated by send+receive.
