SORORITY: AGES

It’s been a minute. Ages, even. SORORITY explores age, eras, aging, age gaps, the passage of time, what things were like when we were young, and what things are like as we get older. Founded, curated, and hosted by playwright and director Gina Young, SORORITY started in 2016, as a late night k-hole for new short works by women, trans, nonbinary, and queer performing artists. Exploding almost overnight from a small salon into a huge community of creators with a cult following, SORORITY has gone on to produce staged readings, cabarets, and events that defy description at venues including The Hammer Museum, Rockwell, Los Angeles Performance Practice's LAX Festival, Barnsdall Gallery Theatre, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Ironically-named and intended to be an inclusive, non-gatekept space where new and seasoned performers create side by side in a supportive environment, SORORITY has presented hundreds of artists, spawning a new generation of live performance in Los Angeles, and countless spin offs.
