Don't miss the world premiere of Claire Carson's play KISSING IN THE GROCERY STORE!The moon is in conjunction or something. You miss your ex-girlfriend, and you’re afraid to come out to your parents. You can read a self-help book, talk to a trusted friend, or you can be like Q, and look to a YouTube Witch for a “letting go” spell.
Quinn is a 20-something lesbian struggling to move on from their first queer relationship. Their ex ended the relationship because she couldn’t be with someone who hides their true self from their family. The breakup ignites a comical and poignant battle between Q’s inner voices, leading them to seek solace in a YouTube magic influencer.
KISSING IN THE GROCERY STORE by Claire Carson (she/they) is a multimedia presentation told through time shifts and movement. The story poignantly reminds us that coming out is often scary, even if your family is liberal. Carson describes the play as a “mix of humor, movement, magic, and poetry.” It is “for anyone who has ever battled themselves, grappled with their past, or yearned for a life filled with more joy, more honesty, and more room to grow.”
