"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.

She’s Gone follows Sam, a genderqueer person in their 20s and 30s, as they end various relationships throughout the play. Each scene features the ending of a new relationship with new woman--all played by the same actress. Sometimes they end with a bang and sometimes with a whimper. In-between each scene, we see a fragment that exists out of time. These fragments give us insight into Sam’s past. Slowly, we begin to understand why they continually self-sabotage and we begin to grapple with the nature of love, loss, and relationships.
