Gay marriage is coming to Washington State, and it turns out the queers have something to say about it. FOREVER, OR WHATEVER is not your grandmother’s lace doily. It’s not about Ellen and Portia, and it’s not a political debate. It’s a homoromantic confession, brought to you by eight Seattle writers who know a thing or two about heartbeats and tuxedos. It's a Valentine's show or an anti-Valentine, a marriage proposal or an off-the-grid love story. Its commitment-phobic, its commitment-obsessed, it's an inside conversation spoken out loud.

UP (When I Grow) DVD!
In September 2010, TumbleMe Productions and Mae Pictures presented UP (When I Grow), a collaborative, multi-genre show about dreams. Pushing the boundaries between poetry, performance, and film, eight of the Northwest’s most talented poets and songwriters responded to the following questions: What did you want to be when you grew up? Where do you keep those dreams today? A series of short films -- conceptualized by the performers and produced by professional filmmakers-- provide a dreamscape to accompany live performances on the theme. Join the ensemble as they climb back into the imagined fire trucks of childhood, try on the too-big boots of grown-up aspirations, and spin pink in the tutus of secret desires."
“BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL and INSPIRING and FULL OF LOVE.” - Charmaine Porter “The words were breath taking, life-giving and carved from the meat and metal that makes word art transformative.” - Mary Anne Moorman “Thank you thank you thank you for believing in me.” - Daemond Arrindell, UP performer “I had a dream last night. We were all getting paid for this.” - Britt Ashley, UP performer PURCHASE THE DVD through PayPal, only $15 plus shipping!
