Trans World II: Madoodiswan
@yalerep , Binger Center for New Theater — September 2025, a reading of new work in a workshop, NYC. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 🪶
.
I nearly passed out hearing the work read aloud. Finally: 🏳️⚧️trans, non-binary, and 🏳️🌈queer voices gathered for civic imagination. We told this story—one play, one constellation in the Trilogy Play Galaxy Cycle.

In this lodge…
After being denied entry to the Kennedy Center simply for existing, in these metamorphic forms, I fled to
@fuseboxlive
@outsiderfest , and created an installation
@themuseumofhumanachievement on a bus 🚎, I reset among the cornfields of
@nh_project Gathered with my 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 🩵🩷 network at
@popculturecollab 💫
(Thank you to those leaders who said, Ty, please come we believe in you, what do you need?
@zspacesf and
@playpenn )
In my process— Usually, I’m “team chop.” But not this time. I needed to hear every single word spoken into the room. I needed to take up the space on the pages. I am profoundly grateful to be supported as a fully realized human-being, playwright, artist, and someone with things to say about gender, eco-sexuality, nature, Indigiqueer futures, star nations, and care. I could not have done this without my communities 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🪶, and these brilliant actors, artists, and friends:
@thefreeactorvist @samoraperdida ,
@believeinmaybe ,
@clew.cifer and
@tuffchicks SM:
@charlie.lovejoy and prod 4 YR:🫰🏽
@hfgellman . Under the direction of
@santiago.iacinti whose creativity and capacity to convene is magnificent, we shook the little room off 42nd Street and Broadway in NYC. We played, cried, laughed. We made medicine. I shed unnecessary energy, people, and pages. 📄 The draft grew stronger and so did we.
Can I get an AHO! ✊🏾💥
