Two Kensingtonians have produced a show running next month at the New York International Fringe Festival at La Mama, according to the Brooklyn Eagle:
“As I Am Fully Known” will be one of the many innovative pieces that will be running next month as part of the New York International Fringe Festival, at famous Off-Broadway playhouse La Mama.
In “As I Am Fully Known,” set in Bay Ridge, meet Gina (played by playwright EMILY RIEDER), a 25-year-old Catholic lesbian living in Brooklyn who is coming to terms with her sexuality. Now meet her religious family — who all struggle to accept Gina as she chooses which rules she will live by. Funny and poignant, the production examines whether one person’s decisions can, among other things, “bring down the wrath of God on an entire family.” As Gina’s relationships with her family members are put to the test she begins to move forward in her own life.
