Letters to the Universe

Letters to the Universe by Shaunga Tagore, is about a brown, femme super-queero’s magical life story as she time travels through portals, alternate dimensions, the heart of the underworld, and into heights and hopes of the galaxies. First presented at Buddies in Bad Times as a part of their Pride 2016 programming, Letters returns for a workshop production and the next stage of development.
