  • Good Person: A Rage Show for your Clown at the Glitterbox Theater

    The Glitterbox Theater 210 W 8th St, Homestead, PA, United States

    Good Person: A Rage Show for your Clown at the Glitterbox Theater You are here because you are very good. Patricia! (The richest and whitest woman you know) is here and wants to celebrate you. Because you are so very good. And in this moment where goodness is harder to come by, Patrica will make sure you stay good, whether you like it or not. This provocative, raucous,  solo bouffon show is for queers, good black girls, and anyone afraid of their own rage. Patricia! dares the audience to examine the intricate layers of being 'good' in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. With games, jokes, and existential dread, it's  an audacious, unapologetic romp through society's contradictions and collective rage, leaving you pondering the true essence of being a 'good person.' Chaotic, and thought-provoking, "Good Person" holds a mirror audience's perceptions of what it means to be good and what it costs to stay that way.
