Always A Boy
2024-02-29 19:30 - 21:00 | Ground Floor Theatre, 979 Springdale Rd, Ste 122, Austin, TX, 78702, United States
ALWAYS A BOY, inspired by Jo Ivester’s best-selling, award-winning memoir Never a Girl, Always a Boy, tells the story of Ash, a 22-year-old college student struggling to figure out his gender identity. Conversations between Ash, the 12-year-old child he was, and the 32-year-old man he will become allow the audience to observe what is typically a very private, internal angst. This is Ash’s and his family’s coming-out story, told with humor and warmth. It is honest and hard-hitting, sharing the tough moments as well as the joyful ones. It is a story of acceptance in a family that always knew how to love but needed to learn how to accept.

The play is dedicated to the most silenced voice in American history, the black woman. This engaging choreopoem fuses jazz aesthetic movement, elegant melodic voices in four-part harmonies, truth-laced spoken word and beautifully crafted vignettes that engage all five senses and paint a portrait of what it means to be a black woman in America. The piece openly confronts topics such as identity, politics, healthcare, relationships, love, and police brutality, all told through a lens of tough love with a side of humor.
