Are You There, Rihanna? It's Me, Kyle
June 23 at 9:30PM

Kyle Mason - Writer/Performer

Description

ARE YOU THERE, RIHANNA? IT'S ME, KYLE follows Kyle, an ex-Catholic, chronically online, 20-something Gay who is neurotically obsessed with pop culture and, more specifically, female pop music. He is talkative, trend-obsessed, and allegedly “too much,” but his favorite thing in the world is sharing his music taste with others. In this coming-of-age tale, Kyle chronicles his life journey while performing the music and lyrics of the pop divas that have guided his life. Part-cabaret show, part-sacreligious Catholic mass, part-therapy session, ARE YOU THERE, RIHANNA? IT'S ME, KYLE is an inside look at the Gen Z experience of finding religiosity in the culture that shapes our lives and embracing queerness in the process.
