In the Festival Institute:
Kate Bornstein is a towering legend of queer theater. Her Art/Activism has shaped the transgender movement like no other performer in history. Kate's signature show, On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us, wraps her favorite monologues and hot-off-the-press memoirs into an unforgettable evening of warm, challenging entertainment. Maybe this is your chance for an intimate evening with your lifelong hero, or perhaps this is your very first introduction to trans culture; you will never forget this deeply moving affirmation of spirit for sex-and-gender outlaws. To celebrate our 20th anniversary, Kate Bornstein has made possible this special two-night event to support The Theater Offensive, New England's leading creator of queer theater.
The evening includes a VIP reception with an open bar and yummy treats.
