The assignment: create something – anything! – to cash in on the case of Christine Jorgensen, the first widely known person to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Wood, at the time a closeted cross-dresser, channeled his life into his art, casting himself in the genderfluid title roles. Blurring reality and fiction further, Wood also cast his real-life girlfriend, Dolores Fuller, as Glen’s unknowing fiancée.

January 31 – February 17

Theatre Off Jackson | Women & Femmes, or Females ($16–$52 | in person)

This play is a wreck! The director got in a car crash, the lighting designer was fired, and the cast and crew have been barricaded in the theater by the playwright as she tries to find an “authentic moment”. For their own reasons, the three femme leads start making their own play – it’s different, and better than the play they’re in now. Do they even need the playwright? The only course of action: mutiny. Partially generated by the actors and scored to experimental electronic music, Women & Femmes, or Females is a transfeminist play about overidentifying with one’s trauma, performing goodness, and agency.

Broaden Your Mind

Other Community Events to Enjoy!

The CSPC throws amazing parties and hosts many important discussions on various topics. But luckily, we live in a place where there are many more options to dive into sex- and body-positive culture. The list below is just a sampling of some great events coming up in the next month.

We include non-CSPC events in every issue. If you have an event suggestion, please email Marissa at newsletter@thecspc.org and it might make it into our next issue!

September 21 – December 7

Consent Academy | Consent and Leadership Series ($300+ | in person)

Consent and Leadership is a unique opportunity for leaders to deepen their understanding of consent, power, trauma, and accountability. It consists of 8 workshops and one optional lab, each exploring the knowledge, skills, and practices anyone who finds themselves in a position of influence or authority needs in order to foster a consensual space.

October 10 – 20

Seattle Queer Film Festival ($150+ | in person and online)

Seattle Queer Film Festival has been an important part of the Seattle queer film community since 1996, and has remained the largest of its kind in the PNW. Since then the festival has expanded to intentionally showcase stories reflecting the vast spectrums and intersections of our queer communities.

Pan Eros | Seduction ($60 | in person)

It’s time for Seattle’s sexiest Halloween party! Gallery Erato is preparing to host Seduction: Masquerade of Shadows—a night of music, dancing, ambient performances, and the hottest costumes to make it out of the bedroom! Seduction this year offers two floors of Halloween revelry. Step into our parlor upstairs for a delightfully spooky party. You’ll rub elbows with creatures that go bump in the night (don’t worry, they’re on their best behavior) while roaming a fantastically macabre collection of art specifically curated for the season. If you’re feeling bold, head downstairs into the Vampire’s Lair. Bewitching beats will keep you dancing, and our bar will be mixing up the perfect cocktails and mocktails.

October 25–26

Emerald City Trapeze Arts | Carnevolar ($50–$150 | in person)

Prepare for a Halloween night of spine-chilling thrills at Carnevolar XII, where the eerie meets the extraordinary. As darkness descends and the witching hour approaches, Emerald City Trapeze transforms into a dark carnival of the bizarre, featuring world-class flying trapeze, aerial, and circus acts. Deep in the shadows, a powerful coven weaves magic in the name of vengeance, defying gravity and mortality itself. Witness jaw-dropping aerial performances that will send shivers down your spine, as trapeze artists soar through the night like restless spirits, twisting and turning in fleeting glimpses.
