You Have to See It to Be It - Featuring Sara Bruner (she/her)

Teacakes & Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists

Featuring actor, director, and Associate Artistic Director of Great Lakes Shakespeare Theater and Idaho Shakespeare Festival Sara Bruner | she/her:

Sara generously shares her thoughts and experiences surrounding the ever-evolving concept of Gender both in her life and greater American cultural contexts. When it comes to constructing character, gender is not fixed, rather it can go in waves or be “dialed up or down” depending on the role and their journey. Will and Sara muse upon the irrelevance of asking “was that a boy or a girl?” and what ingredients are missing from the cake that is American Theatre.

In Teacakes and Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists, host Will Wilhelm (they/them) welcomes an artistic crush for an intimate chat and a reading. Each episode features a new queer guest discussing art, life in our industry, and their dreams and intentions while the world of performance waits in the wings. Together, they hold space to summon more inclusive, exciting, and queer-friendly ways to create. As the candle burns low, Will offers their guest a unique tarot reading to give them greater insight on a personal journey. It's one part cocktail party and one part slumber party that will leave you stirred but never shaken.

Teacakes & Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists is produced by Island Shakespeare Festival as part of the Shakespeare Playground Series. The series presents socially distanced programming that upholds ISF’s mission of accessible Shakespeare that embraces intersectional storytelling and artistic excellence.
