In his debut solo show, Moth Champion Frank Traynor takes us on a "rollercoaster" of identity, love, and growth—from Argentina to the U.S., from boy to man, from son to father. The runt of a 7 family "litter" Frank fights to shake his mama’s boy complex with humor, heart, and raw honesty. You’ll root for him—and maybe for your own messy evolution too.... full review

A relatable story about how growing up never ends and how the twists and turns of life define what makes us a human.

So relevant for today's times as we reexamine what it means to be "a man" and to the masculine. ... full review
