About the Show

Pulitzer & Tony-nominee Taylor Mac's drama about a mother disavowing gender norms & her dysfunctional family.

Isaac, the prodigal son, has returned from war, only to discover his family home transformed.

The patriarchy has fallen, and Paige has been liberated from an oppressive marriage. Enlisting Isaac’s transgender sibling as her ally, Paige is now on a crusade to tear apart gender roles – but destroying the past doesn’t always free you from it...

Steven Kunis ('Straight White Men') directs Taylor Mac's drama about a family in transition, forced to build a new life out of the ashes of their old one.

This production is recommended for ages 14+.
