Initially for live performance, Once Removed was produced as an audio play by Hatch Arts Collective in 2021, under the direction of Adil Mansoor with sound design, editing, and original music by Aaron Landgraf. This documentary performance follows my growing up and coming out, against the story of my mom’s cousin, who we lost to AIDS in 1993.

Once Removed

This is a performance for one actor. That actor is probably Paul Kruse, but not necessarily. Ideally, this will be performed for a small group of folks in a room at a community center or church--a place where this story might be helpful for LGBTQ folks and their families. Hopefully, it can be a way to start conversations.
