The Pineapple Project at the Boston Public Library

The Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library is pleased to host the Pineapple Project, an original play about gender, creativity, and each child’s freedom to be who they are.

The Pineapple Project was born during a moment of play between actor Mal Malme and her niece when her niece said “Boys Can’t be Princesses!” As a gender non-conforming person and theater artist, Mal couldn’t ignore this statement. This led Mal and colleagues Becca A. Lewis and Renee Farster-Degenhardt to create a theatre piece for children ages 3-8 to broaden the gender conversation and validate each child’s identity.

This event is free and open to the public.
