The first time Edalia went to a party wearing a dress she ended up getting locked out of her apartment during a thunder storm. Sometimes it feels like the universe is laughing at you. Sometimes it feels like the world is giving you the push you need to begin to live an authentic life.
Let People Like You is a love letter to the wild and wonderful ways life trips us up, and the beautiful journeys we take to put each other back together again. A theatrical hug of a spoken word show, full of slam poetry, physical comedy, hilarious songs and a polycule of dancing squirrels.
“Edalia is a beaming light of hope in a world that can sometimes feel hopeless.”
- Rosa Torr
“Poignant, funny and she dances like an angel.”
- Charlotte Arculus
Praise for past shows:
★★★★★ “A magnificent tapestry of gender expectations… a digital masterpiece.”
– Feminist Fringe
★★★★★ “Too Pretty to Punch is the rare queer show that I have no qualms recommending to anyone. Everyone should see this show.”
– Broadway Baby
“Head-spinning, joyful, painful, funny – and I loved the tech. It’s a blast from and to the heart.”
