Bull in a China Shop

EAC Out Loud presents- BULL IN A CHINA SHOP by Bryna Turner. EAC Out Loud is a 100% queer theatre program. Every person involved in this program is queer. Every actor, every playwright, every crew member, and every amazing volunteer. We feel that it's more important than ever to be loudly and unapologetically ourselves in these uncertain times. Supporting this production means directly supporting some of Sacramento's most marginalized voices.

BULL IN A CHINA SHOP is based on the real letters between Mary Woolley and Jeannette Marks, who were faculty at one of the first women's colleges in the United States between 1899-1937. The couple works together, separately, and sometimes against each other to revolutionize and reform women’s education at the height of the suffrage movement. As evolving ambitions and desires strain the couple’s relationship, this fast-paced comedy with whiplash dialogue and a modern spin asks, “How do we change the world? How does the world change us? And how the hell do we grow old together?

Note from the playwright: This is an excavation of queer history, a history that has been buried and hidden and kept from us. It’s also a queering of history, a look at past events through a contemporary gaze. Queering history entails making room for the people who have been routinely denied a place in the narrative.
