How long must we fight to be free in our own skin? Who helps and who harms along the journey? What is your white dress?
Inspired by the playwright's own experiences, The White Dress is a genderqueer coming-of-age play for the they/them generation.
It follows Jonathan Howard, a biracial black and Filipinx gender nonconformist, as they navigate familial shaming & secrets, peer bullying, and the unrequited love of friend Winnie to redefine what male looks, sounds, and feels like.
Directed and choreographed by Adin Walker, The White Dress features a music and movement score that accentuates Jonathan's odyssey to be free in their own skin.
