2022 Tales of the Transcestors

The show was a beautiful, concise exploration of trans people that weren't defined by their transition or tragedy. Despite being trans myself, I had not heard of any of the elders that were represented, but at no point did this feel like a dry history lesson.... full review

This was an important piece of theater. In addition, it was an entertaining show with solid acting and direction.
