"One of the year’s most essential theater experiences."
-Atlanta Journal - Constitution
"...takes feminism and gender issues seriously, but also with a refreshing, ironic sense of humor."
-Creative Loafing
"Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps" is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure theater show featuring aerial acrobatics and multimedia storytelling. Together, performer and audience decide the sequence of events every night, choosing just a few of the 127 stories that a guy who was born a girl has to tell. From birth to death, playing with dolls to chugging a beer, dealing with hormones, finding love, and finding yourself, this one person show engages the deep questions and the locker room jokes about life in general, and what it means to become a man.
“Why 127? Well, it’s a prime number; and it’s kind of a complicated mouthful, like me; oh, and it’s part of my Social Security number, which apparently says EVERYTHING about who I am. I am just waiting for someone to steal MY identity!"? - from the show.
----------
"'Becoming a Man' is a roller coaster ride through your heart, your soul, and your genitals. Scott Turner Schofield is one of my favorite performing artists, and I can't wait to see this daring young man step on the stage with this one."
— Kate Bornstein, author of Hello Cruel World
"Scott Turner Schofield's storytelling is so honest, his approach so unique, his style so unselfconscious and disarming, that his shows will have you wrapped around his pinkie in no time. I've seen this Southern gent win over the most jaded of New York theater audiences with one wry smile and a perfectly placed raised eyebrow. He's the real thing - and nothing less than a national treasure."
— T Cooper, bestselling author of Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes and Some of the Parts
"A provocative and compelling storyteller, Turner helps us to look at gender in a new way, face our prejudices, and have fun while doing it."
— Amy Ray, Indigo Girls |
Why would you want to see the show?
50 million Elvis fans can’t be wrong…Or rather, “Everybody and their mama came out in February, why wouldn’t you?"?
Seriously though, you might not identify with the term “transgender" – you might not even know what that word means, many people don’t! This show is an opportunity to learn about a mysterious and sometimes touchy topic through one person’s stories. That the person in question happens to have won several awards for his particular brand of gender-bending theatre (including a Princess Grace Foundation Fellowship in Acting and a Fresh Fruit Award for Off-Broadway Performance) only makes 7 Stages prouder to produce his work, and encourage you to take the steps to see it.
*This show is for Mature Audiences and features full frontal nudity*
