She Was A Conquistawhore. A solo show built on collaboration.

What is Conquistawhore about?

Legend says The Conquistawhore drinks her weight in whiskey, brawls her own vagina (because he makes wild choices), and roams the Wild West - or is that the Main Line? Their trials weave a story of manifest destiny - a calling to take the land back, one cis-white man at a time. This solo show combines history, comedy, and poetry to examine cultural wounds. She Was A Conquistawhore is an absurd, radical, and deeply personal exploration of gender identity, intergenerational trauma, and healing.

A modular performance - Conquistawhore adapts to any space or production needs! Want one cowboi? Two cowbois? A whole band? From a 60 minute theater version to a 45 minute bar piece, Conquistawhore can flex itself to meet it’s environment.
