Les Saints Jessie Ryan/The Astorian Workshop

About This Show

LES SAINTS is a (les)bian coming of age story examining the difficulty in coming out, being open about emotions, and building & maintaining relationships despite all odds. It takes place in high school where history day is THE BIGGEST deal. Our two heroines get partnered up. Their subject? The lives of the saints. This reading will be a cabaret style collective biopic, giving each saint their moment to shine.
