The First Pineapple and Other Folktales
Written & Performed by Michael Rosegrant
September 16 & 17 at 7:30PM
Presented by Central Square Theater

Part oral history, part play, part concert, The First Pineapple and Other Folktales is the ritual of memory evoked when a queer filipinx poet appears on a stage somewhere in our settler-nation called America. As divides between performance and personhood collide, blur, and flood, we see the author at their most vulnerable, which may also be their most holy. Come witness, exorcise, and dream with author Michael A. Rosegrant in the hardest folktale they may never tell “right”.
