Saturday, August 6, 2016

Hopkins Center Bentley Theater
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Arts
Fee required.

Part standup comedy, part solo theater show and part love letter to their former selves, They, Themself and Schmerm is an homage to all the things that make up Becca—from early abuse and love affairs, to bathroom blunders and circus performer antics, to a complicated relationship with mom. Winner of a 2015 Doris Duke Impact Artist Award, Blackwell is a NYC-based trans actor, performer and writer who works collaboratively with playwrights and directors (including Young Jean Lee) to expend our sense of personhood and the body through performance. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder which bathroom to use. MORE INFO
