PTC’s Unscripted series brings playwrights, audiences, and the imagination together.


Unscripted: Postcards invites you to be part of Christina Cook’s transformational storytelling experience with her collaborators and dramaturg Joanna Garfinkel.

Meet Spiling, a PhD student working to get letters after her name—and postcards from her dead grandma—in this whimsical, non-linear work of autobiography and fantasy. It turns out higher education isn’t that fun when you have to fight to be recognized for who you are. Easier to have a conversation with your dead grandmother—even if it means skipping midterms and leaving your (very much alive) mother on read.

This beguiling and tender work of performance art features a trans woman of letters who goes on a postcard journey through time and realizes ‘love’—for mother, grandmother, and herself—isn’t just a four-letter word after all.

Immerse yourself in this poetic and playful universe and let it speak to your many selves with a small dose of time travel. Come and engage with excerpts of the performance and live music, and even write a postcard or two to the future you. Be part of the evolution of Postcards, a celebration of trans joy.
