Update: press release

Announcing the much-anticipated second installment of

“Trans Sister Tales”

With a new cast performing all new monologues

Set for February 28th, 2008

Following the success of the first performance of this amazing theatre piece, producers Dee Dee Flores and Leslie Townsend bring another group of talented trans women to the stage.  These women speak from the heart as they share their journeys through life, love and transition.

Just as the first performance proved that trans women have a voice worth hearing, these ladies show us a side of life that truly speaks to the human condition.  They make us laugh and cry.  In the end they show the audience a strength and courage that comes from rising from the ashes to become who they always were meant to be. 

The all-star cast includes Gina Grahame, Aleshia Brevard, Rosalyne Blumenstein, Dee Dee Flores, Leslie Townsend, Christina Quinonez, Victoria Ortega and a special musical performance by Veronica Klaus.

Where: Greenway Court Theatre
