Thanks to everyone who joined us for the incredible opening night of Aysha Zackria's "Pillow Fortress" at Heirloom Arts yesterday.

It's been such a joy workshopping the evolution of this new script with the playwright and dramaturg Kendra Ann Flournoy for the regional premiere of a play Zackria describes as "part polemic, part slumber party, and all chaos" as three classmates working on a group project -- Chelsea who has a penchant for the law, Ry who advocates for prison abolition and Jordan who is just scared shitless -- receive an alert that someone has just escaped the local jail.

Said Sloan, an opening night attendee: "'Pillow Fortress' is an intimate story with outstanding actors. A great show for a laugh and a bit of food for thought."

We hope you'll join us for the Oct. 18 matinee, where you can meet the playwright, our Oct. 22 American Sign Language interpretation-supported staging, or our final weekend of shows on Oct. 23-25.

Hear from the cast, crew and playwright about this highly relatable, thought-provoking exploration of friendship and feminism, racism and privilege, and more in your email inbox if you're a subscriber or at https://bit.ly/4sbPs2y if you haven't yet signed up!

The cast and crew of Queer Theatre Kalamazoo's regional premiere of "Pillow Fortress" has loved collaborating remotely with playwright Aysha Zackria and dramaturg Kendra Ann Flournoy on adaptations to the script for the play, which opens tomorrow (Oct. 15) at @heirloomartsllc. Additional dates include Oct. 18 and Oct. 22-25 (with ASL interpretation available on Oct. 22).

Playwright Aysha Zackria said: "Working with this team has been a dream. I feel very lucky to see the cast breathe life into these characters and to hear them reflect on the story in their own words." 

Aysha Zackria is a queer Pakistani-American award-winning dramatist, writer, and musician who earned her BFA in Dramaturgy from Carnegie Mellon University. She has written plays that examine social issues, including “Proximity,” “Natural Law,” and “Pillow Fortress.” In all of her pursuits, she hopes to amplify opportunities for societal growth through creation. Learn more about Zackria and her work at ayshazackria.com, and grab your pay-what-you-can "Pillow Fortress" tickets at https://www.queertk.org/.

#SupportQueerArt #SupportQueerArtists #KalamazooTheatre #QueerTheatre #Kalamazoo Graphic reads Meet the Playwright and includes "Pillow Fortress" pillow pile logo, QTK logo with rainbow beneath, photo of Aysha Zackria and the quote: Working with this team has been such a dream! I feel very lucky to see the cast breathe life into these characters and to hear them reflect on the story in their own words. I've made several changes to the script as a result of my collaboration with the cast, Ynika (Yuag, director), and Kendra (Ann Flournoy, dramaturg) who are all such brilliant dramaturgical minds. I'm very excited for the audience to see this new version of Pillow Fortress! by @heirloomartsllc

We’re having a blast working with Clare Ray, in their Queer Theatre Kalamazoo debut, and she says the feeling is mutual:

“I am so honored and stoked to be in my first QTK Show! Uplifting and empowering queer art is important for any art scene. It’s integral to also perform stories that highlight diversity in the Queer community and remind us there’s no one way to be any label or identity,” she said. 

Ray, who has appeared in freelance projects and with Face Off Theatre Company, has spent the majority of their time on-stage playing the clarinet. She says she’s enjoying exploring how the “Pillow Fortress” script explores fear and how our lived experiences may shape how we cope ... This production is for anyone with or seeking a strong sense of community. We’re telling the story of 3 individuals from different backgrounds, who, when forced together, explore our dynamics and intersections of our identities. It’s never too late to get to know your fellow neighbors, peers, or local workers.”

“Pillow Fortress” opens this Thursday, Oct. 15, at Heirloom Arts, with additional performances Oct. 18 and Oct. 22-25. American Sign Language interpretation will be available at the Oct. 22 performance, and pay-what-you-can tickets are available at https://www.queertk.org/.
