I Sell Windows
“You are where you are today because you stand on somebody’s shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. If you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. It’s the quid pro quo of life. We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give.” — Vernon Jordan
I Sell Windows is one Black woman's exploration of what is birthed at the collision of grief, ambition and sex. After bailing on a trip home, former actor Kacie is confronted with the unexpected death of a loved one -- propelling her into an existential voyage back to her tried and true trade of selling windows. As the days leading up to the funeral become shorter and shorter, she grapples with questions of identity, purpose and forgiveness, ultimately asking herself what she can or even deserves to become. *Kacie Rogers developed I Sell Windows while completing the Shay Fellowship sponsored by Free The Arts.
We’re taking this show on the road! I Sell Windows will be co-produced by Outside In Theatre Co. and Bottle Tree Theatre for a Los Angeles run in Spring 2024 and will then be a part of the historic Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Summer 2024! I could not be more proud of the work or feel more blessed that so many will get to see it! Producing is no easy task and we simply cannot do it alone. I Sell Windows can only continue this journey with enthusiastic supporters like you!

ABOUT THE TEAM
Before they had ever made a film together, the Thicc Boy team performed original songs at a music showcase in Atwater Village. After blowing the roof off of the place, the two creatives decided to produce a film based on an original song of theirs titled: Lights Out. This would become the foundation of a long partnership.
