MISSIONARY WOMAN: A Transgender Supervillain Camp Comedy To Have Brooklyn World Premiere

Missionary Woman: A Transgender Supervillain Camp Comedy World Premiere has been  announced on Sep 24th - Sep 28th, 2024 EDT at MITU580, Brooklyn, NY.

The conservative city of Straightsville's superhero, Missionary Man, defends the city from the queer supervillains who escaped from the local liberal arts college. That is, until the first day of Pride Month, when The Mayor reveals plans to unleash anti-trans legislation on the town! Yikes! Missionary Man sees no choice but to reveal her long-kept secret and reveal herself as... Missionary Woman!!!!! When the Mayor fires her for embracing her truth, Missionary Woman is forced to ally herself with her arch-nemesis, Professor Strap-On. With the help of The Human Twink and Professor Strap-On's little brother Geoff, they take on the city's ugly, oppressive, cishet regime.

This world premier play, written by Meg Rosensweet, Produced by Devon Kish, and directed by L.D. Kelley, features an exceptional all-trans cast and company. Missionary Woman uses camp, satire, and absurdity to address themes of systemic transphobia and conservative fascism in response to the torrent of anti-trans legislation currently spreading across the United States and the world.

At a time of unprecedented visibility for transgender people, Missionary Woman aims to help audiences realize what is at stake for one of society's most vulnerable (and HOT!) populations.

CONTENT WARNINGS INCLUDE transphobia, homophobia, anti-queer slurs, sexual language, drugs and alcohol, simulated violence.
