Pencil Kit Productions partners with the Gladstone Hotel and grassroots artist collective Blank Canvas to produce Shadow Girls, a theatrical production scored entirely with overhead projector art.

Presented in an intimate twenty-seat room in the Gladstone, Shadow Girls envelops audience members in transformative, otherworldly images as it details the relationship of Maggie and Amelia: two women whose attempts at an intimate relationship are complicated by a fraught history involving years of separation following an adolescent hook-up-and-break-up. The projections translate the shadows of the women’s inner emotional worlds and evolve in real time at the hands of three observable projectionists.

Shadow Girls was written by Keshia Palm and Claren Grosz, two queer theatre artists who drew on their respective backgrounds in puppetry and visual art to conceive of the hyper-visual art installation nature of the production.
