About this episode
Breaking the Binary Theatre is a new work development and community building hub wherein transgender, non-binary, and Two-Spirit+ artists come together to reclaim their artistic license and liberty. This year the theatre will celebrate the fourth annual Breaking the Binary Theatre Festival, opening on October 20 with a one-night-only concert of The Drowsy Chaperone at Carnegie Hall featuring a star-studded all-trans and non-binary cast led by Laverne Cox, Alex Newell, Betty Who, Jonathan Van Ness, Dylan Mulvaney, and more. All net proceeds will benefit Trans Lifeline, Black Trans Liberation, and Breaking the Binary Theatre. In this episode, Playbill Podcast host Alex Birsh passes the mic to Breaking the Binary Theatre founding artist director George Strus who moderates a roundtable with participants of this year's festival: Tony nominee L Morgan Lee, Sis Thee Doll, Samora la Perdida, and Cheeyang Ng. The group discuss their participation in the festival, the importance of representation in the industry (both in front and behind the table), and more! Hosted on Acast.
