In this hilariously raucous romp, inspired by a self produced video by Corey Haim called Me, Myself and I, Becca Blackwell (a he-she-schmerm ginger who was in the circus and enjoys cute sweaters) chronicles their struggle with abuse, identity, sexuality and gender in this laugh out loud family tragedy for a post post modern downtown theater age. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder what bathroom to use. Directed by Elena Heyman. Video by Jill Pangallo. A trans actor and performer with a circus background, Becca Blackwell’s performing career includes collaborations with artists such as Jennifer Miller/Circus Amok and Young Jean Lee. Existing between genders, and preferring the pronoun “they,” Blackwell works collaboratively with playwrights and directors to expand our sense of personhood and the body through performance. Blackwell’s past roles include Lee’s Untitled Feminist Show, a textless dance theatre piece set to pop music, and Tina Satter/Half Straddle’s Seagull (Thinking of you), an adaptation of Chekhov’s The Seagull and his other comedic writings. A regular on the web series Jack in a Box, Blackwell also recently performed in Jack Spicer’s Billy the Kid, a collaborative musical by Lisa D’Amour, Brooke O’Harra, and composer Brendan Connelly.
