"Girl: A Gender Exression" is about a trans experience --- not THE trans experience but a trans experience. More specifically it is about the playwright's trans experience at one moment in her transition. Looking inward and outward, "Girl" is a rage against transphobia, a reflection on artistic, sexual, and gender anxiety, a philosophical auto-theoretical contemplation of what life in the current moment means, a political treatise, and a moment for community. Also hopefully it's funny and not depressing? Too many trans plays are depressing. Mixing dialogue, speeches, dance sequences, and everything in between, Girl is a radical demand for specificity, self-acceptance, and a deconstruction of the traditional ways that plays are created that attempts to shock, enrage, comfort, and challenge its audience.
