My Name is Jennifer | February 3-6, 2023

Theaterlab Presents

My Name is Jennifer or (She Loved Elephants Too Much)

Conceived and Directed by Noah Crandell

February 3 & 5, 2023

Friday Feb 3rd 6pm – Saturday Feb 4th 12pm
Sunday Feb 6th 12pm – Monday Feb 6am

My Name Is Jennifer is a durational meditation on queer grief and ancestry. Inspired by the visual art and texts of David Wojnarowicz, the music of Arthur Russell, and an episode of MacGyver written by his AIDS-infected uncle in the 90s, Noah Crandell and team deconstruct the relationship between queerness and ephemerality in connection to the AIDS epidemic.

Celebrated visual artist, John Hanning, will also have a new work on view in TheaterLab’s gallery. Frequently exploring themes of anxiety, surveillance, paranoia, the bankrupt morality of religion, commentary of American values, the LGBTQ and AIDS movements, Hanning’s work has been shown internationally at Spritmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden; the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, Los Angeles, CA; and The Art Gallery of Guelph, Guelph, Canada.

When you enter with a timed entry ticket, you may stay, leave, or return for the remainder of this 18 hour tour de force.
