The theater scene can be stuffy, but this show is bound to make audiences feel right at home\u2014considering it\u2019s staged in living rooms and backyards around St. Pete. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pink Unicorn\u201d is a one-woman show, which first opened Off-Broadway in 2019. And it\u2019s now the first show put on by Story Keepers, a new, queer-focused, arts and events nonprofit in the Sunshine City. <\/p>\n

Samantha Mart\u00ed-Parisi plays Trisha Lee, a Christian widow reckoning with her child coming out as genderqueer and starting a Gay-Straight Alliance at school and the ripples of impact in their tiny Texas town. <\/p>\n

The show is directed by Story Keepers co-programming chair and Tampa Bay Arts Passport head Avery Anderson.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Performances span across two living rooms, two backyards, The Studio@620 and finally The Werk Gallery.<\/p>\n

Tickets start at $25 for \u201cThe Pink Unicorn,\u201d running Jan. 15-Feb. 1 in St. Petersburg.<\/a><\/p>\n
