Off-broadway at Culture Lab LIC
Olivia is starring as ARTEMIS
Atalanta: The Long Shot is a boundary-breaking new queer musical that resurrects the long-forgotten mythology of history’s original Amazon and unsung heroine of Ancient Greece. Raised by a bear in the Arcadian forest after being abandoned as an infant because of her sex, Atalanta (“equal in weight”) is the perfect combination of wild femininity and animal instinct. On her eighteenth birthday and prompted by the patronage of her lover, the goddess Artemis, she returns to Grecian society on a quest to discover the life that should have been hers. An exquisite hunter and runner, Atalanta is a staggering anomaly within her own culture and is rudely awakened to the harsh reality of life in a gendered world. But that won’t stop her from making her mark alongside the best heroes of her time.
Will she claim the life she lost or will she fail at being human, after all?
Sappho's Hum
Sappho’s Hum
by Olivia Billings
The International Human Rights Art Festival
in collaboration with Sapphic Star
It is the night of the Spring Formal, and something catastrophic happened to Erin. The only person they can think of to call is their ex-roommate Soph. Sappho’s Hum is a (at times absurdist) microscopic study on coming of age queer life. Grappling with acceptance, the complexity of sexual assault in the queer community, and the confusion of discovering identity, Erin and Soph move through mundane rituals in order to find out if they are right for eachother. Echoing the plight of our historic ancestors Sappho and Erinna, the pair finds connection in moments of peace in their relationship.

THE BINDING RETREAT Reading
In a time where trad wives, "rapturetok", and mega churches dominate, Olivia’s play The Binding Retreat questions the purpose of faith, the phenomenon of modern evangelical christianity, and divine coincidences in today’s world. The query of a higher being isn't going anywhere, and neither is the queer community.
