Being Deformed Saved MY LIFE: AN ORIGINAL SOLO SHOW
BASED ON CHAPTERS 1, 5, AND 6 of Stories of Raising Boys: Masculinity, Disability, Gender Expansiveness, and Anxiety, 2026, Temple University Press
Being Deformed Saved My Life draws on the autobiographical portions of the performer-author's book, Stories of Raising Boys: Masculinity, Disability, Gender Expansiveness and Anxiety, published by Temple University Press (2026). The Solo show explores how growing up disabled in a conservative religious church in a rural, working-class community compelled life decisions that led to becoming a professor and mother of five children within contemporary culture. The performance is followed by an open talkback with the audience.
