The theater scene can be stuffy, but this show is bound to make audiences feel right at home—considering it’s staged in living rooms and backyards around St. Pete.

“The Pink Unicorn” is a one-woman show, which first opened Off-Broadway in 2019. And it’s now the first show put on by Story Keepers, a new, queer-focused, arts and events nonprofit in the Sunshine City.

Samantha Martí-Parisi plays Trisha Lee, a Christian widow reckoning with her child coming out as genderqueer and starting a Gay-Straight Alliance at school and the ripples of impact in their tiny Texas town.

The show is directed by Story Keepers co-programming chair and Tampa Bay Arts Passport head Avery Anderson.

Performances span across two living rooms, two backyards, The Studio@620 and finally The Werk Gallery.

Tickets start at $25 for “The Pink Unicorn,” running Jan. 15-Feb. 1 in St. Petersburg.
