SOUR FLOWER is excited to present our first devised theatrical project: The Violet Wire: A Selection of Songs from the End of the World.

The Violet Wire is an original theater piece that weaves together pre-existing contemporary musical theatre, rock, and folk songs to tell the story of a queer radio show in a post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh.

Unlike a conventional musical theatre revue, our production team and cast have collectively brought together music, text, and movement to create a show that explores themes of queer resilience, the importance of artistic creation, and the choice to cultivate community.

Today, our authoritarian government threatens the bodily autonomy, safety, and fundamental rights of queer and trans people.  Facing this crisis, we believe in this art as an act of radical joy and an important platform for change. This show was designed to help us fundraise for future projects— we aim to secure a fully accessible venue and continue our practice of bringing queer DIY theatre to our community.
