Hilarious, whimsical, and charming, Untitled Flamingo Play is a love letter to queer kids’ right to be as femme and fabulous as they flocking well please. On the first day of grade three, two outcast kiddoes receive an assignment: find a role model for the rest of your life! Can they express their authentic selves in the face of toxic masc bullies, femme-phobic grown-ups, and the sinister forces of heterocisnormativity? A fowl-mouthed flamingo might hold the answer. One performer, a table, and a zany cast of toys and objects bring this flamboyant adventure to life.
