JANE/EYRE | Teacup Gorilla

We are not here to flatter egotism, or prop up humbug; we are merely telling the [queer] story. We value what is good in the book; but we believe in the existence of other, and more vivid kinds of goodness.

The original production in 2018 was a huge success, so we’re bringing it back in 2025 – along with a full-length album of our original score.

Thanks to our wonderful ensemble from the 2018 production:

Lindsey Pierce as Jane
Meghan Frank as Mrs Reed/Helen/Rochester/Diana
Julie Rada as Currer Bell/Various
Miriam Suzanne as Narrator (Jane)/Bass
Josselyn Cool on Guitar
Sondra Eby on Drums/Vocals
Daniel Eisenstat on Guitar
Dameon Merkl on Vocals

Friday & Saturday shows featured opening acts by lovely local musicians…
