Since October 2014, The Project Room has been following writer and performer Anastacia Tolbert in the making of 9 Ounces: A One-Woman Show. During this preview event, Anastacia Tolbert will give the audience a special behind-the-scenes sneak peak into the three characters of her forthcoming production, 9 Ounces. Come meet Alice, Luna, and Saraphina as they are interviewed by TPR Editor, Tessa Hulls. This fundraiser-sneak-peek is sure to not be missed!
9 Ounces debuts at The Project Room this July 30, August 1-2, and September 10-12. Tickets for all performances available soon.
Anastacia Tolbert is a queer mix or supershero & alphabet fairy godmother dust. Although she isn’t opposed to regular clothing, if she could she’d wear a cape & galoshes at all times. She is a Cave Canem Fellow, Hedgebrook Alumna, Jack Straw Writer, EDGE Professional Writer, VONA alum, Ragdale Alum, creative writing workshop facilitator, documentarian and playwright. She is writer, co-director, and co-producer of GOTBREAST? Documentary (2007): a documentary about the views of women regarding breast and body image. Lately she’s been obsessed with the body (in parts) & the stories it h(old)s. Recently she has begun a year-long theatrical mixed-media project, 9 Ounces: A One Woman Show. 9 Ounces is an unkempt, de-ribbon-ed, narrative braid dangling with crooked parts. It yoga’s its way through the unexpected journey of a queer woman of color’s mid-life a-ha moment and extreme case of takotsubo’s cardiomyopathy. Using the audience as mirror, epiphany and diary, three narratives crochet themselves around evolving frames. Her poetry, fiction & nonfiction have been published widely.
