Today I am here with producer director, arts manager, and applied theatre practitioner MARENA FAYE. In what seems to be a blossoming Sapphic vibe shift in pop culture, we take this special moment to talk about NYC’s premiere sapphic playwriting competition and play festival, SAPPHEST. Celebrating the works of queer women and sapphic-identifying individuals, Sapphest will feature five 10 minute plays each inspired by a classic sapphic pop song. We're talking about it!! Marena shares her vision for Sapphest, and in addition, we cheer on some of our favorite Sapphic pop artists. (Kehani and Tinashe to name a few) This first manifestation Sponsored by the Terry knickerbocker studio, Sappiest will b held august 3rd, from 8 - 9:30 pm at 68th W 34th St. Industry City, Brooklyn.

Real life licensed therapist, storyteller, and improviser Jude Treder-Wolff joins us to talk about her hit solo show FASTER. The limited Off-Broadway engagement plays at Playhouse 46 and is part of the Turn the Lights On! Festival. The play which had its World Premiere at The NYC Fringe Festival in the Spring, runs Saturday, July 6 at 4:30pm and Sunday, July 7 at 3pm. FASTER tackles the world speeding up and the mental ramifications it has on us. Longtime collaborator Suzanne Bachner directs.

Through true stories about trying to understand her partner’s opposite approach to change, she frames a narrative about the impact of constant uncertainty as the pace of change picks up speed and transforms the world faster - and more often - than our brains are built to process.
