Karen Anzoategui brings their solo show Catholic School Daze to Human Resources LA in Chinatown, Oct 2nd-4th, 2015.

Catholic School Daze is an autobiographical solo performance that tells the story of ‘Karen’ who finds humor and pain while surviving the challenges of gender norms, sexuality, and faith. Karen is forced to take the blame for an act of “lesbianism” in front of the whole school. Bullied by administrators and schoolmates alike, Karen is forced to make difficult decisions as they survive Catholic High School and the intersection between queerness, faith, and self-infiction.

Anzoategui is currently working on a documentary based on this work; developed through workshops with their audience members at the UCLA Chicano Research Library, Cal State Northridge and the Cal State Fullerton Queer People of Color Conference.
