Brahman/i: A One-Hijra Stand Up Comedy Show features Fawzia Mirza in the title role with Damian Conrad.

In this provocative play masquerading as a stand-up comedy routine, an Indian intersex person, or hijra, explores history, mythology, gender roles... and high school. Brahman/i - funny, cynical, inventive and intensely charismatic - takes on more than a dozen unforgettable characters in a fascinating life story that most of us can barely even begin to imagine.

The production team for Brahman/I includes Roger Wykes (scenic design), Jeremy Floyd (costume design),Sarah Hughey (lighting design), and Josh Horvath (sound design).

Tickets: Previews: $20 adults/$10 students & seniors. Regular run: $35 adults/$20 students & seniors. Discounts available for groups of 10 or more. Tickets are available at www.aboutfacetheatre.com,www.silkroadrising.org or by calling (312) 857-1234 ext. 201.
