From Jackie: "Tonight we’ll survey singleness. At it’s most obvious, one could explored being uncoupled, but there are additional, if not a bit tangential connections: being alone, being in a group of folks but being seen as singular, isolation. Part of this conversation around singleness for me is about blackness—being the single black person in a space."

/////// About The News ///////
On the first Tuesday of each month The News, presented by SOMArts Cultural Center, features new, queer work by Bay Area artists. The News is a monthly cabaret style evening that spotlights 10-minute or less performance pieces, experiments, and works in progress by pre-selected solo artists, groups, or troupes.
In addition to artists selected by a guest curator, a “wild card” performer or two appears in each line-up at The News. “Wild cards” are artists who may not have been selected by the guest curators, but join in the evening to share new work. Artists interested in performing as a “wild card” at The News can find more information here: http://www.somarts.org/programs/thenews/
