Theda Sandiford: Big Mouth

Please come check out my solo show at Art House Productions…

JC Friday Show Preview; Friday, September 6th, 5pm – 8pm

LOCATION: Art House Productions; 262 17th St, Jersey City, NJ

As a woman, I find it is often easier to make my way in the world by keeping my mouth shut. To simply grin and bare it when haters, well-meaning friends or co-workers say or do something insensitive.

With ‘Big Mouth’, I am all of it. The sass, the crass, the erudite and more than that aware. Aware of the language used to quiet me down. To remind me of what is, and most importantly, what isn’t being said.

Opening Reception: Saturday, September 7th, 5pm – 8pm
