 is coming to Baltimore. May 16–24. @thevoxel a queer séance. a ritual for remembering. a dance with the ghosts who made us. this piece is made from the voices of long-term survivors, caretakers, lovers, and fighters.
 it’s messy, euphoric, tender, and true.
 we carry these stories in our bodies. we are raising the final $12,000 to bring this archive of queer care to life.
 when institutions fail us (and they always do), we turn to each other. 💸 anything you can give helps us gather. helps us grieve. helps us dance.
 🕯️ ticket + @seedandspark campaign link in bio. come be with us. This project is an @npnarts creation fund commission with @chathamu @chatham_immersive_media and @cacnola . This production is funded by a @lehighu Faculty Innovation Grant @lutheatredept . Origionaly created at @cmudrama in the @cmu.directing program #QueerCare #TransHistory #LGBTQTheatre #ArchiveOfCare #BaltimoreTheatre #QueerPerformance #AIDSMemorial #TransVoices #PerformanceAsRitual

Becoming a Man director Lyam B. Gabel shares what drew him to P. Carl's memoir, and what excites him about directing the stage adaptation of the book at Z Space.⁠ ⁠ For 50 years, P. Carl lived as a girl and then a queer woman, building a career and a loving marriage while waiting to realize himself in full. When he decides to affirm his gender, his transition puts everything—family, career, friendships—at stake.⁠ ⁠ 🎟️Tickets via the link in our bio ⁠ 📅May 28 - June 14⁠ 📍Z Space’s Steindler Stage⁠

I could not be more thrilled to be directing the West Coast premiere of Becoming a Man, the adaptation of @pcarlphd ’s memoir of the same name. This first week has been full of great acting, belly laughs, and trans joy. @zspacesf

I fell hard for Sondheim in this process. For his rigor, his wit, his ache, his refusal to let a moment stay simple. Working on Into the Woods with this brilliant company let me feel just how much mystery and tenderness lives inside the score. I feel so lucky to have wandered there with these artists and to have made magic in the woods together. @lutheatredept @lehigh_cas Directed by me and @kashimae Music Direction by Sarah Frook-Gallo, Liz Olsen, and Kyle Wernke Choreography by @jessicamarino_jam Scenic Design by @melpomuse9 Costume Design by @gloria_swansong Lighting Design by @willlo Sound Design by @andrew.nelson.2x4 Media Design by @mx.skreejee Props by @avemcgarry Stage Managment by @nova_r_robertson Photos courtesy of Christine T.
