HOT ICE
Taboo to the touch
A fire in
the cold
That was us
Welcome to a stage, where a
soaring painting takes shape before your eyes, a big-booty poet
stands at the mike, and there’s a seat right in front, just
for you.
This is a place where wise old ladies live and
boys act like horses.
This is a vision of love that was
crushed and brought back to life.
And this is my story. I’m
Orphea Proud. Welcome to the show.
As Orphea, who discovers
her sexuality as a lesbian, shares her story, powerful questions
of family, prejudice, and identity are explored.
