Dear Texas, is a stage play which captures the experience of being a transgender person, gender transition, and the courage it takes to fight for personal authenticity. The play, based on hours of interviews, takes us through the raw realities of breaking past gender norms, discovering body and mind alignment, and the human drive to be seen by others as we see ourselves.   

Comprised of characters spanning a variety of ages, emotions, and transition points, Dear Texas, is honest, ground-breaking, entertaining, and challenging. It will make its audience empathize, question, and feel each character’s vulnerability and strength, but will ultimately inspire a change in perspective. 

The overarching theme of Dear Texas, (envisioned with a mostly transgender cast), is the universal drive for authenticity. This is delivered through bold and striking theatrical treats, including a nightmare scene which stands as a parody of society's obsession with gender categories and the convenience of convention; a teenager’s journey of “trying on” and figuring out his identity; the family dynamics of a father transitioning; and a child’s struggle to find her true voice, all of which, inspire reflection and thought. 

Culminating in a courtroom scene (based on an actual case which took place in Texas), what unravels is a discrimination case cloaked in a custody battle. While the trial ends tragically, the audience is ultimately reassured by the strength rising up from the transgender community who stand united in stark counterpoint to the echoes of a dying past.
