In the evening when the tops of the trees are resting in the clouds we will meet together and worship the souls that have been extinguished light years away from us.

Natural Novice Rated PG-13Created / Performed by Siobhan O’Loughlin
“Natural Novice” is a solo play which explores issues of identity, gender, and self-esteem through the theme of female body hair. It is a collection of Siobhan O’Loughlin’s personal stories, alongside the stories of six other women she had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing. In “Natural Novice,” the audience will hear not only O’Loughlin’s unshaven perspective, but the thoughts and experiences of those who live quite differently from her: a completely-waxed Jewish sorority girl, a nearly naturally hairless Chinese lesbian, a 6’4 transgender woman, a Muslim-American feminist who wears hijab, and more; women who run the gamut of race, sexuality, gender identity, and body hair preferences. Seven characters sound off in this feminist solo play, which examines the social politics of the aesthetic, and how a woman defines herself, no matter what she looks like.
