‘TRANSMISSION - A ONE TRAN SHOW’ ADDRESSES NOT JUST THE PERSONAL JOURNEY FROM MALE TO FEMALE, BUT ALSO A UNIVERSAL PATH TO HAPPINESS AND PEACE FOR ALL
Transmission - A One Tran Show
LOS ANGELES – Ever since she had the honor of being directed by the great Jeffrey Tambor in a recent acting forum, Jade Beauvoir knew that the story of ‘Trinity’ needed to be told. Months later, Beauvoir is thrilled to see Transmission making its world premiere at the Lounge Theater in June as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
In Transmission, Trinity is on a mission to love and accept herself. The only problem is that she has a penis, and everyone thinks she’s a boy. Aided by her Tranny Godmother Madonna, her alter ego LaJina Jones –Punany Poet, and her secret lover –codenamed ‘James Franco,’ Trinity goes to battle with her ‘Self Rejection Virus’ in order to live free or die.
“Transmission is an eclectic, cathartic journey from disjointed to aligned, from bogus to authentic,” Beauvoir said. “It’s an inspirational, yet comedic tale that explores themes of gender, race, self-acceptance, death and love. …So nothing too heavy.”
Director Allen Walls blends multimedia, special effects, original live music, meditation and dance to convey ‘Trent’s’ dynamic transformation into ‘Trinity.’ The theme of Transmission unmasks a universal commonality: Each of us is struggling to transition from a life of self-doubt and condemnation, to one of internal happiness and peace.
“We hope audiences themselves will be transformed by Transmission,” Beauvoir said. “Ideally, people will leave feeling self-empowered by the possibilities of courage and kindness. …but really, I’m just doing it for the money.”
