About this event
"Yesterday, We Were Children" by Leila Teitelman A Historically Close Friends workshop reading directed by Kim Jordan When a married couple spends the summer apart, they form strong, intimate connections with younger, queer people. Through this lens, we are encouraged to confront the truth of the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, especially as we age. "Yesterday, We Were Children" is a compelling, witty, appropriately steamy wrestling match between one's perception of self and connection with others.
