*Turning Krasniqi* is the story of Hannah, a high schooler in Kentucky who wants to come out as burrnesha, a masculine-aligned gender in his ancestral home of Albania. According to ritual, Hannah needs 12 village elders to do this. Since high schools don't have village elders, he opts to recruit 12 leaders of various school groups instead. However, since Hannah has spent almost four years of high school talking to nearly no one, this is a tall order. He's also fighting a deeply conservative principal, an impending graduation, and the more uncomfortable notes of a tradition he's not entirely sure of. This coming-of-age comedy won the 2020 Parity Award from Parity Productions, and received a workshop at the AMT Theatre in New York City (Nov. 2022).
