Can misogyny be funny?

Islanders will find out this weekend when Lynann Politte debuts her performance piece, “Eve Was Framed…A Comedy about Misogyny” at the Blue Heron Art Center.

The world-premiere performance is part of Vashon Allied Arts’ New Works Series, which makes the Blue Heron space available to Island performers to present original work in different genres.

Politte is an accomplished performer, writer and director, but “Eve Was Framed” will be the first time she has performed her own work on stage.

She said the performance tells the story of her own personal journey, but that it has a broader message as well.

“It actually represents woman’s journey — our personal stories are what keep us connected to one another,” Politte said.

She added that she has pushed her boundaries with the piece, incorporating comedic vignettes, movement, music, singing and even a shadow dance.

Previously on the Island, Politte worked as the producer and director of “The Vagina Monologues,” Vashon Youth Theatre’s “Beyond Therapy” and other productions.

This time around, she has recruited a number of talented Islanders to contribute to “Eve Was Framed.”

The show is direced by Elizabeth Klob, who serves as UMO Ensemble’s executive artist. Stephen Seigel is the show’s technical director, and Jack Barbash, Geoff Johns and Rick Vanselow contributed music for the show.

“Eve Was Framed” will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 21, at Blue Heron Arts Center. Tickets, $12 and $14, are on sale at Heron’s Nest, Books by the Way, Blue Heron Arts Center, www.brownpapertickets.com and by phone at 463-5131. Parental guidance is suggested for for children 13 and younger.
