DESCRIPTION

The Anecdotes of a Lesbian Princess finds a messy, too emotionally available, overtherapized woman in her 20s trying to “hack” lesbian culture in New York City. Throughout the play, she details the anecdotes that describe her multicultural background and plethora of bad dating experiences to determine if the queer powers that be think her worthy of the ultimate prize: getting a text back from a girl. Let yourself get sucked into a journey of cringy hinge dates, niche liberal arts college turned nyc lesbians, family drama, badly executed ballet, and finding your worth guided by an entertaining, slightly unreliable narrator.
