Gay, straight, queer, lesbian, bisexual, transgender---how do you identify? As part of this season's Alternate Routes GLBT Festival, New Jersey's own Pandora Scooter returns to riff, rhyme, rant and act as host to some of the spoken word scene's most provocative new artists---a daring collective of wordsmiths who collectively represent all orientations. Be there when these cutting-edge voices convene to express their personal views on one of life's hottest topics: sexuality. This year's performers include the three-person Brave Soul Collective and spoken word artist Alix Olson. This performance contains adult/mature content and language.
