In February 2009, 20% Theatre Company took the Twin Cities by storm with its production of The Naked I: Monologues From Beyond the Binary by award-winning, transgender playwright, Tobias K. Davis. Often compared to the Vagina Monologues, The Naked I was made up of monologues and short scenes in which transgender, transsexual, intersex, and a variety of other gender-variant individuals explored their bodies and dissected society's assumptions. This play was based on interviews conducted in New England by the playwright. Our production sold-out all five performances at Bedlam Theater, and involved over 25 members of the local queer community.
Ever since that production, we have received numerous requests from local individuals who are itching to tell you their stories. Throughout the summer of 2011 we collected over 100 pages of incredible writing submitted to us from local transgender/gender non-conforming individuals and allies, and created The Naked I: Wide Open - a new play full of fresh, sexy, humorous, gut-punching, and unbelievably honest stories.
