The Kelly Strayhorn Theater will present "Freshworks: lys scott" on November 6 and 7.
Growing up in a small town, lys scott (she/they) discovered that living authentically sometimes meant being called the “Crazy Girl.” As a first-generation LGBTQIA+ Thai American artist, lys brings their fearless storytelling and multidisciplinary performance style together in chronicles of a crazy girl. This performance in progress invites audiences inside lys’s inner world – a whimsical, nonlinear journey exploring the liberation of individuality, sexuality, and relationships with their immigrant family.
Embracing musical spontaneity, theatrical performance, and media design, each scene reveals a new layer of their emotions, rooted in identity, resilience, and self-discovery.
Shows run from 7:30 to 9:00 pm both nights, including a post-show discussion, and tickets are available online. The Kelly Strayhorn Theater is located at 5941 Penn Ave. in East Liberty (map).
