Changing rooms are a minefield of confused sexuality, body insecurity, and emotional vulnerability. Playwright Kyle Smith ratchets this milieu up by centering the painful journey of a trans/agender character whose painful coming out results in his relationship with his water polo teammates disintegrating as their camaraderie grows over the course of a contentious season. The audience viscerally feels Titus’ pain and isolation as they come into their own, and anger at the team’s treatment of them. A fantastic and powerful play about what we lose to become our true authentic selves.
