Snake Girl: The Medusa Revenge Project

Come be a part of the newest queer producing collective on the block! Sara Jane Mascelli’s GIRLPOPE THEATRE COMPANY is proud to present a concert fundraiser at Tattooed Mom’s on Sunday, January 18th from 7pm-9pm. “SNAKE GIRL: the medusa revenge project” began development in 2022 at the defunct UArts, under the mentorship of playwrights Maggie-Kate Coleman (Pop! Who Shot Andy Warhol?) and Savannah Reich (Oedipus In Seattle). With an original electronic pop-rock score, scenes adapted from Greek mythology that take place mid-cunnilingus, and a very Carrie-meets-Jennifer’s Body-coded plot – this new musical will leave you craving more! If campy sapphic horror is up your alley, come drink and network with us as we fundraise for 2026, cultivate queer community, and share scene and song excerpts from the show. GIRLPOPE is art for the fems and freaks of Philly – making theatre that makes you want to leave the house.
