About PLUCK:
It’s 2003. Fourteen-year-old Cleo and Bea are twins. Cleo can’t stop running away from womanhood. Bea can’t stop running away, period. When we don’t have the words for what we’re becoming, we make up myths instead. A play about gender identity, dysphoria, twins, and monsters in the age of AOL.

♀️ ♂️ FREE EVENT on GENDER & CREATIVITY this TUES August 6th at 7pm. Reservation link: shotgunplayers.org/online/article/breakitdown
❗️Why are pronouns important? What about gender is not expressed or acknowledged by pronouns? In this panel, we consider the liberating power of acknowledging gender, and how it can be a creative act.
❗️Shoutout to our panel host Becca Wolff who is also the director of our main stage 'Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties.'
