IT’S GAYE! (in a good way)
A HOT TRANNY…SHOW!
I’m not going to lie…I don’t know a lot about 20% Theatre Company. Bad homo! Bad! But I do know that they are putting on a show that sounds at least decent:
“Award-winning FTM transgender playwright Tobias K. Davis has done it again! Standards of Care follows two FTM characters as their lives heat up and flip upside-down, all because of one woman. A harsh, humorous, and above all, honest exploration of some of the realities that face the transgender community — from the battle of gender dysphoria, to the trials of therapy, family support, and gender reconstructive surgery. You don’t want to miss this ground-breaking new play!”
I’m usually a little bit thrown when a theatre company advertises its own play as “ground-breaking”. It’s sort of like when you watch “So You Think You Can Dance” and they play a little clip of some young twink saying, “I’m fierce. I’m so going to Vegas. Fierceness begins here.” Then you watch them dance and you’re reminded of that time the Special Ed. kids put on a skit at the high school talent show.
I have to admit, though. Even if this show turns out to be a tranny train wreck, at least it’s being done. I’m glittering over with joy and pride that pieces like this are not only being written, but they are being produced more and more. I mean, it may not be The Little Mermaid on Broadway, but…I think I’ll at least give this show a try. Well done, 20% Theatre Company for being really gay (or at least transgender)…in a good way.
