Becoming a Man at A.R.T.
Experience the world premiere play about one man’s gender transition amid a pivotal political moment in America, running Friday, Feb. 16–Sunday, Mar. 10 at A.R.T. From acclaimed memoirist P. Carl and Tony Award-winning director Diane Paulus, "Becoming a Man" is a story about the courage—and the community—needed to become oneself. For fifty years, Carl lived as a girl and then a queer woman, building a career and a loving marriage while waiting to realize himself in full. When he decides to affirm his gender, his transition puts everything—family, career, friendships—at stake. “This moving narrative illuminates the joy, courage, necessity, and risk-taking of his gender transition” (Kirkus), and poses the question: When someone changes, can the people they love come with them?
