About this Event
Coinciding with LGBTQ+ History Month, this year's fifth annual Breaking the Binary Theatre Festival will bring together ten teams of transgender, non-binary, and Two-Spirit+ (TNB2S+) playwrights, directors, dramaturgs, stage managers, and performers (yes, even in roles written for cis folks!) to develop and showcase new works created entirely by and for TNB2S+ artists.
TWITCH
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2026 at 7:30PM
by Liliana Padilla
directed by Jack Ferver
starring Joslyn DeFreece (she/her)
Pam searches obsessively for her missing son, accompanied by a twitch no one else can see. Searching for her son, Pam follows clues to the pound, computer store, a missing person’s group, airport, and other crevices of her splitting psyche. In tracking her son’s vanishing steps, she also chases hope. TWITCH was previously developed as part of the inaugural Breaking the Binary Theatre Festival in 2022. This new, solo version of the piece premiered at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it was named "a show worth seeing" by Vogue.
