I Wear My Dead Sister's Clothes
Written and performed by Amy Schwabauer
Directed by Ray Caspio
December 4 - December 20, 2025

"Schwabauer weaves a galaxy of emotions."
-Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene<https://www.clevescene.com/arts/borderlight-theater-festival-review-day-two-thursday-july-25-44798970>
Winner of the "Char and Chuck Fowler Audience Choice Award," Borderlight Theatre Festival (2024)
I Wear My Dead Sister's Clothes, written and performed by Amy Schwabauer, is an autobiographical dark comedy about what it means to love and grieve a difficult person. While cleaning out her deceased sister's house, Amy sorts through the messy baggage of their relationship and asks herself the tough questions, like why did her sister need four identical dish drainers? Loss haunts Amy as she empties out every closet, but laughs come just as easily as tears when she wears her dead sister's clothes.

Skip the family drama and join your chosen fam at CPT for Kwingo's Sketch Party, a night of gut-busting, original sketch comedy with a sprinkle of holiday absurdity and piping-hot queer joy. It's the perfect escape when you're tired of your uncle's opinions and that dry-ass turkey! Be a part of a night to remember that the holidays aren't about being perfect-they're about surviving the madness with people who get you AND your pronouns. Bring your friends. We'll supply the laughs. But maybe... leave your straight cousin Kyle at home.
