Unpacking in P’town By Jewelle Gomez – Directed by Kimberly Ridgeway – Wistful | Witty | Kindred Spirits
Every summer, former vaudevillians Buster, Lydia, Minty, and Scottie reunite in Provincetown to drink, dance, and forget about the real world. But this year is different. It’s 1959, the fight for Civil Rights is heating up, and a restlessness hangs heavy in the humid air. In between the reminiscing, this chosen family is forced to face changes they’ve been hiding from for so long. Completing the Word and Music trilogy by LAMBDA Literary Award winner Jewelle Gomez, Unpacking in P’town is a world premiere portrait of the queer artists of color who paved the way for others to live out loud.
