Get your tickets to see me in the encore season of PO’ BOYS AND OYSTERS! 🎟️🦪🎭 🗓️ 22–29 Nov | 8PM 📍 Herald Theatre After a long and tumultuous journey, Mission Bay locals Flo and her wife Jo are adopting a child — but before their new chapter begins, they must face one unforgettable dinner party.

22-29 Nov. Herald Theatre. Aotea Centre. Po’ Boys and Oysters by Estelle Chout, Directed by Dione Joseph.

A sharp and funny family queer drama / comedy about love, class, and belonging.

When a Black lesbian couple of Haitian descent settle in Támaki Makaurau with dreams of adopting a child, they quickly discover that family — chosen and biological — comes with rivalries, secrets, and the occasional plate of oysters.

Written by Estelle Chout and directed by Dione Joseph, Po’ Boys and Oysters brings Caribbean flair to Aotearoa’s stage, weaving together biting humor, intimate truth, and the everyday politics of love and survival. With a stellar cast, including Sonya Renee Taylor, Sandra Zvenyika, and Estelle Chout, this acclaimed work serves up a delicious feast of passion, identity, and hunger to create home.

I want to invite you to this really cool thing I am leading! Your Intro to Intuitive Astrology with Sonya Renee Taylor, an astro workshop on August 29 at 7 PM EST (that’s a Friday). And in this workshop I’m going to be talking about my practice for intuitively reading astrology natal charts. How do I understand the sun, the moon, and the rising sign through an intuitive relationship to the planets?

Something began being revealed to me that was showing me how we can look at these planets and these placements and understand them from an intuitive relationship that we already have with the natural world. An intuitive relationship that we already have with the sun. That we already have with the moon. That we already have with understanding something being on the horizon. That all of those things give us information about how we might understand our own charts.

So I hope that you will join me August 29, 7 PM EST for your Intro to Intuitive Astrology. I’m super excited. I’m gonna be live. I’m gonna be talking to y’all. We’re gonna be answering questions and looking at charts and talking about how we create these interpretations. So I hope you’ll join me!
