Start Time(s): 8 pm

Written and performed by Scott Turner Schofield Directed by Steve Bailey Irreverent and dynamic, graceful and playful, this one-person show engages the deep questions and locker-room jokes about what it means to become a man Moving beyond the predictable transgender narrative, Schofield’s stories explore the drama and hilarity of living a new life in the “opposite” gender The aerial dance component pushes the limits of solo performance Schofield dances, climbs, hides and seeks in a choreography of brute strength and beautiful flexibility The show’s “choose your own adventure” format invites viewers to decide which stories they will hear Since its Seattle debut, Becoming has sold out every engagement from Miami to Anchorage This project is made possible in part by support from the National Performance Network (NPN) Performance Residency Program For more information: wwwnpnweborg
