Company One Theatre is developing the events and narratives of We And Other Queer Goddexxes in order to amplify…

>> the elemental power of personal and community narratives as a uniting, liberating force for good gatherings
that tend to our collective memory, belonging, healing, and love

>> the long history of trans and queer peoples of color conjuring sacred spaces for communal creativity,
and rejecting the colonial myths of singular genius

>> TQBIPoC elders and youth who are co-imagining and enacting the small-to-largechanges
that ripple out across and beyond the city

>> the powerful work of local activists and organizations
strengthening the health of Boston’s queer and trans communities of color
