Double Feature: "WHAT X GAVE TO ME" & "Middle Man"

This evening will feature TWO productions in the Neurotica Festival!

WHAT X GAVE TO ME

“What X Gave to Me” is a good girl’s journey of embracing her anger, with the help of her favorite rapper…DMX! This show explores the late Earl Simmons as an unlikely inspiration for Sam, who never felt she was allowed to get truly pissed off about anything ever. What commonalities can be found between two people whose backgrounds couldn’t be more different? Why do certain DMX songs remind Sam of Shakespeare? Is she going to lose her mind (up in here, up in here)???

Middle Man

In the wake of a divisive sex education lecture at her Missouri Catholic school, an 8th grader enlists a young seminarian to help her get back in God's good graces. Together, they grapple with their faith in a community that may not practice what they preach.
