“Please join the Alley Cat Players this Sunday for Becoming the Villainess, our performance art piece based on Jeannine Hall Gailey’s poetry. The Alley Cats will combine myth and modern media, literature, theatrical performance, visual art, and dance in this textually and visually rewarding production.
Bridget Bean will perform Gailey’s text; Shana Perkins will dance two original pieces to the voice of the author reading her own work. The performance will be enhanced by a backdrop of projected visual artwork, all from contemporary artists who have been featured in the Journal of Mythic Arts. We will also offer a soundscape, excerpts from Beneath the Forest Floor by Hildegard Westerkamp.
We’ll be at the St. Petersburg Main Library at 2 pm on Sunday, Aug 31.
In the spirit of Art for Everyone, all our shows are free!
I hope to see you at the show!
best,
Jo Averill-Snell
Artistic Director, Alley Cat Players
“Gailey recreates myths from Persephone to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, examining the victim/villain casting of mythic women with wit, grace and insight…With her blend of colloquial and lyric language, of pop culture and ancient tradition, Gailey not only renews myth for the modern reader, but illuminates our strengths and vulnerabilities through the lens of myth.” —Fickle Muses“

Safely into San Diego, where, it seems, we have brought the rain with us! Off to apartment shop!
