A hilarious queer courtship, racial meltdown, and family drama in a small southern town. A coming-of-age story of adults fumbling for their gender/sexual, social, geographical, and familial grounds in this spinning reality. With fantasy and humor, it weaves together present sociopolitical movements and persisting historical sentiments so relevant to the South. Without pinning down current parties, it centers on lived experiences, revealing the hyper-inflation of identity and socioeconomic politics that smears the sincerity of romance, breaks the visionary lifestyle any ideology promised, but pushes us forward. I'd love to see this funny lively witchy extravaganza in workshops and festivals!

Playwrights Foundation congratulates STONEWALLIN' as a Finalist for BAPF 2020. This play rose to the top 35 out of 735 plays submitted, and was discussed at length by our Bay Area Literary Council for consideration in our season. We loved how this play uses the language of theater to illuminate challenging perspectives and compelling intersectional questions. This play ultimately moved & inspired us and spoke to the core mission of PF. We hope that once we’re allowed to return to our theaters again, it will be considered for production to reach new audiences.
