Gender Most Classical: PlumeCon 2025
What’s it like being a trans aroace actor in Shakespeare?
Is there any room for trans and aspec people in period plays?
Why do you keep doing free theatre in the rural Midwest instead of moving to a theatre city?
I’ve gotten these questions a lot over my 6+ year career as a Shakespeare actor. I’m not here to convert anyone into being a Shakespeare fan. I’m here to share some evidence of just how classic our queerness is. And I want to empower us in the trans and aspec communities by celebrating the ways we shine through classic stories like Shakespeare.
