Kirk Read: This is the Thing
Writer/performer Kirk Read creates an evening of stories about sex work, hallucinations and the apocalypse. Read learned to perform in a touring Virginia evangelical youth group, with some in his hometown expecting him to become a preacher. Instead, Read became an escort and an avowed fan of magic mushrooms. In short, Read is a different sort of preacher. Read's stories weave in and out of Jeffrey Alphonsus Mooney's soundscape, creating an atmosphere of magical trance. Read's humor and acute observation, together with Mooney's trippy, layered music and Liz Singer's shimmering video installation, will take you to church. Expect to hear stories about a 450 pound sex work client, people with dietary restrictions, the Brady Bunch and touring through rural Alabama with genius strippers.
