Graphic Details artist ARIEL SCHRAG presents a multi-media reading of her comics. Like a live animated movie, the performance includes projected slides from Schrag’s comics, a musical soundtrack, and Schrag reading all the voices. She will perform work about being Jewish, being queer, and the life of a teenager in high school.
Schrag is a New York-based author, artist and writer for the HBO series How To Make It In America. She also wrote for the hit Showtime series The L Word. For her High School Comic Chronicles, Schrag wrote each of her four autobiographical graphic novels the summer after each year of high school. The books cover crushes, band obsessions, new friendships, coming out as bi, coming out as gay, falling in love, her parents’ divorce, and the personal and social complications of writing about life while living it.
