Set in the late 90s on the Lower East Side of New York City, LESBIAN LOVE OCTAGON follows the journey of Sue, a less than butch dyke with a broken heart, as she tries to cope with losing her girlfriend to her ex-girlfriend. When Sue’s friends (a bevy of ex-girlfriends and ex-girlfriends' ex-girlfriends) come rushing to her aid, they incite a tempest of lust and betrayal as they try to convince Sue that the answer to happiness exists in polyamory, pomade, and online personals. A riotous look at a righteous time in lesbian history, LESBIAN LOVE OCTAGON is a musical for anyone who has ever loved wimmin's bookstores, tofu or cats. 

SHAWN(TA) SMITH
A lesbian separatist, writer, archivist, reference librarian, and editor of the "Her Saturn Returns" blog and book, will read an excerpt of her work. Smith is a collective member of the Lesbian Herstory Archives, and the WOW Cafe Theater, where she co-produces "Rivers of Honey," a monthly Cabaret highlighting the art of women of color.
