A Shark Ate My Penis: A History of Boys Like Me – A Santa Monica Playhouse BFF Binge Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre Musical Event

C'est la 8e édition du BFF Binge Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre, du 15 octobre au 19 novembre, le seul festival Fringe GRATUIT du pays, qui propose 38 pièces en personne, des ateliers et des événements familiaux grâce aux généreuses subventions du Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors via le Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, de la ville de Santa Monica, de la Santa Monica Arts Commission et de Playhouse PALS. Le BFF célèbre l'étendue et la profondeur de la condition humaine et l'idée que les expériences théâtrales sont vitales, transformatrices et doivent être accessibles à tous.

A Shark Ate My Penis: A History of Boys Like Me – 9:30 PM, The Other Space, 14+

Award-winning writer Laser the Boy presents a one-person musical about the history of trans men and his own transition! Meet Alan Hart, the first trans man to get gender-confirming surgery (in 1917!); Samuel Bundy, whose legend includes a shark and 12 girlfriends; and renowned children’s author JK Rowling, for reasons. These characters usher Laser through a life of weddings, divorce, lesbianism, and finally, joy. A fantastically delightful, fun, and heartfelt modern musical. It’s nice to watch a show not thinking, ‘Well, they could have made this gayer.’ Written & performed by Laser Webber. Directed by Ashley Ward. Music by E. Aaron Wilson. Voice/Tech Rebecca McGlynn. Produced by Jessica Lynn Johnson.
