PLOT DESCRIPTION:
What would it take to live your truth? Would it be making a friend? How about haphazard beta time travel shenanigans?
Zahra Felch-closeted transmasc ne college student- has to figure out how to come to terms with their identity in the year 2025. They attempt to write a book that will change their world when they receive an unexpected visitor from the future: their biggest fan- Kase, a trans high school stem prodigy from the year 2136. When reality goes haywire, will they find the answers they seek or destroy the universe in the process? Join us for a journey of self-discovery, laughter, tears, & rock music.
Then & Now explores the unique twisted landscape that queer people learn to navigate to find self acceptance- offering catharsis and celebration of oddity, eccentricity, and authenticity.
TRIGGER WARNING: discussions & depictions of gender dysphoria, mental dissociation, therapy, & self-hate
