Past work
Sassafras’ past performance work has included:
Traitors without (T)reason
Written and Performed by PoMo Freakshow (Kestryl Cael and Sassafras Lowrey)
Kestryl and Sassafras are a queer couple that, despite their best efforts, pass as straight more often than they like to admit. Perforating privilege and complicating queerness, Traitors without (T)reason explores the betrayal, invisibility, sacrifice, subversion, and loss that are inextricably tied into public passing. Are you with us or are you against us?

The Language of Paradox (LOP) was a performance group founded and directed by transgender pioneer Kate Bornstein. The show made up of a queer ensemble grappled with the complexities of sex, gender, desire, life, love, survival and so much more.
