As Sure as God Made Little Green Apples

Revive the Red Tent Productions proudly presents an original theatrical piece

"As Sure as God Made Little Green Apples"

Friday & Saturday March 23rd and 24th @ 8pm

The Empress Theatre - 535 2nd Ave #615

Downtown Fairbanks

The piece is a blend of text and movement reflecting the experience of growing up and coming out as a lesbian in Fairbanks, Alaska. Revive the Red Tent was one of five Alaskan non-profits selected for a Pride Foundation grant. Members of Revive the Red Tent have spent the last four months interviewing local members of the lesbian community. Based on these local interviews, Revive the Red Tent created the theatrical piece "As Sure as God Made Little Green Apples" through a process of butoh, contact improvisation, and modern dance. The piece, an hour in length, is performed by Fiona Zachel and Anna Gagne-Hawes. 

This piece contains mature themes that may not be suitable for persons under the age of 16. 

A donation of $15 is suggested.
