Lauded by the LA Times, Ottis examines how Ever Mainard’s rural Texas upbringing has affected their queer identity in more ways than they realized. In this second coming-of-age story, discomfort stands side by side with determination, exploring identity, “cool Christianity,” Van Gogh tramp stamps, state shot-put matches, and strap-on tips. In this homage to their family, Ever expertly intertwines stories about trash fires, top surgery, and their relationship with their father.
Diversionary Theatre is at 4545 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA.
