Honoring Black Lives & Mothers Stolen in ‘Queer, Mama. Crossroads’

The new play from Anastacia-Reneé, Seattle’s Civic Poet, deals with trauma, death, violence and loss, but does so from a perspective of voice and remembrance — a performative memorial, centered on Black queer mothers. It shows at Annex Theatre through May 4.
