Becca Blackwell's "Me, Myself, and Schmerm" made me laugh and cry and examine some of my trans assumptions. They are sexy and funny and radically vulnerable and this show is headed to the west coast so go and see it. They are performing at @heathr show #yarn and I know Heather is excited about that. Becca has long been one of my favorite performers in New York. I remember seeing them and their partner Erin @newmuseum like 5 years ago, the kids were little, and telling Felix and Vera "These are two of the best performers in New York!" I just saw a run thru, no tech, and it was great. I wish @mckenziewark3000 had been with me. We will go again when the show is @joespub next year, I hope. It's the kind of show that I once did and it made me a little jealous, so maybe I will make this kindof work again. Becca makes the personal universal. They show us the moment when the click happens and a person hardens their heart, they show us so many variations of vaginas, they show us desire and softness and the universal pain of being misunderstood. Plus we get some learning about baby men and masculinity and the bathroom issues that the government wants to take over. The opening joke is amazing and a schmerm is "a schmear of gender." I can wait to see it again. #gender #sexuality #soloshow #memyselfandschmerm #beccablackwell #feminism #theatre #performance #performanceart #love @theirishhorse
