This spring, Evasco toured the Eastern Seaboard with her autobiographical one-woman show, Mommy Queerest. This new work chronicles the coming-out process of a lesbian daughter and a closeted lesbian mother, illustrating how the reclaiming of their sexuality challenges and strengthens their relationship. Mommy Queerest aims to celebrate sexuality, eradicate homophobia and break cycles of abuse.
Mommy Queerest was reviewed in the Bay Area Reporter:
"Evasco's one-woman show, co-written with and directed by John Caldon, is an explosively funny and seductively revealing look back in bewilderment as her own sexuality came into focus amid the mores of Filipino-American culture and a mother in denial. Graphic sexual remembrances that might seem shocking if simply written out here become part of the high-comedy fabric of the show thanks to Evasco's affable, informal, and even jubilant presentation and a matter-of-fact delivery of what could be disturbing revelations."
Evasco currently serves as the Deputy Director for The Future Project. She is the Managing Director of Guerrilla Rep, an independent theater company that develops and produces new plays in San Francisco, primarily focusing on biographical and documentary theater to address relevant social and political issues in America through real life/living context.
