In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows

In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows

 

On Mother's Day, I surprised my mother with tickets to see the play In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows. Last year, the writer True Rodriguez, commissioned me to create a painting that embodied the essence of the feminine power in the characters she created. Although I did not get to see the play for its first run last year, I enjoyed what I learned it has evolved into. A story of family, womanhood, love, faith, strength and the protection of your own kind of magic.

 

The play is brought to life by the cast Jeannie Sol, Toni Benedict, Rob Vassilarakis, Jade Rain Vega, Carla Caraballo, Versai Rodriguez and Luis Echevarria III. Along with the stage direction of Andres Chulisi Rodriguez and the choreography of Keomi Tarver. 

The play will be having their last run this weekend from June 10-12. Take a look at last week's sneak peak of their rehearsal recorded by executive producer Audrey Puente.

Don't miss your chance to catch the final run at the Royal Family Productions Theatre! You can purchase tickets here. And purchase a written copy of the play while you're there.

In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows

In Defense Of Glitter and Rainbows

Honored to have been commissioned for the artwork of this play In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows by Viviann "True" Rodriguez. Get your tickets for this performance showing at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe on May 9th.

“In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows” is a lyrical and dynamic coming of age story about a teenage girl and her mother learning the power of connection and reconciliation. Drawing strength from a present of painful memory, a brilliant and vibrant future, and the value of truth shared between generations of women to prepare them for life. We learn of the resplendent and visceral legacies that we are a part of, and the spiritual ties we have to loved ones lost.

Told though the power of verse and movement while serenaded by the haunting voice of Billie Holiday, we relearn the intimacy and empowerment of the bond shared between mother and daughter."


Directed by Entertainer Buttaflysoul 
Choreography by Keomi Tarver 
Written and produced by True
