Inspired by the writings of Tina G, the show is a series of spoken word and performance art pieces carefully woven together with Donald OFinns video installation. In this two-part performance, four characters spiral through tales of sex, violence, and video tape only to find themselves reflected in the frame. Join the members of the Catalyst Consortium on November 25 for an encore presentation of Virgins, Sinners, Beauty Queens, and Hopeless Wrecks.TINA G.
