OF PIGS AND PIANOS
JUNGLE PRESENTS
By Sara Davis Buechner
Directed By Sal Trapani
October 13 - 16, 2022
The new one-woman piano show exploring Sara Davis Buechner’s extraordinary life story in music and words. This theatrical and musical evening consists of excerpts from her recently completed autobiography, illustrated with luminous piano performances, visual imagery and dramatic narration. Ms. Buechner is one of America’s most well-known classical pianists, as well as one of the first transgender women to transition in mid-career (in the 1990s). She shares her own tale of courage and integrity in the face of overwhelming personal and professional obstacles to LGBTQIA+ groups around the world, and opens that story in a delightful and absorbing new way with this unique showcase for her astounding talents.
First in our series of JUNGLE PRESENTS as a complement to our in-house produced lineup, this show allows the Jungle to shine a light on new and important voices and stories. Sara Davis Buechner’s OF PIGS AND PIANOS gives the Jungle Theater the exciting opportunity to profile a nationally renowned artist and galvanize our support of LGBTQIA+ stories and artists.
TICKETS
As part of the Jungle’s values, we believe a play isn’t complete without an audience and to make our performances accessible to our community, we re excited to continue PAY AS YOU ARE pricing for single ticket purchasers.
PAY AS YOU ARE pricing asks those who routinely pay $45 for theater tickets to pay that amount; it is the actual fair market value of the ticket. If an audience member needs to pay less, they can choose to do so. Likewise by selecting to pay more than the market price, you help cover the cost of someone else’s ticket and welcome more audiences to the Jungle Theater.
