Key City Public Theatre to Present Gin Hammond's LIVING INCOGNEGRO

A season of supporting new theatrical work and local talent, Key City Public Theatre will premiere this stunning one-woman show written and performed by Gin Hammond. Directed by Artistic Director Denise Winter, this piece explores when your cultural identity is one thing, but your physical identity is another, how do you navigate self-expression? Both a humorous love-letter, and an academic discourse, dedicated to those who find themselves in the middle of a cultural battle they never asked for. This is a must see show because it showcases one of America's most transformative actors, award-winning performer Hammond as she returns to Key City Stage. There are limited tickets available to this exclusive engagement. Only 36 Organizations in the State of Washington got these grants from the NEA, and Key City Public Theatre is only one of two granted these on the Olympic Peninsula.

The show runs February 1 - February 11 with performances Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 1:30pm. This performance will run without an intermission and our ASL Interpreted Performance is Sunday, February 4 at 1:30pm with a reserved section at pay-what-you wish pricing to promote access for all. This production is proudly made possible by the following sponsors: Playwright for Playwright - D.D.Wigley and Clarity, a local business that partners with you to create financial health empowering you to reach your goals.
