To T, Or Not To T?
A Comedic Trans Journey through (T)estosterone and Masculinity
Directed by Adelina Anthony
Written and Performed D'Lo
In this hilariously intimate reflection on taking T(estosterone) and transitioning, award-winning storyteller meets stand-up comedian, D’Lo, invites you on his quest to embody a beautiful masculinity that upholds his queer and feminist politic. It’s a vibrant, multi-faceted journey from idolizing his immigrant father (the man who matters most to him), to growing up on hip-hop, to learning from feminist elders, to finding deep connection with studs/bois and other trans masculine folks.
Come along for the ride as D’Lo navigates becoming the beautiful hu(man) he was always meant to be while trying to bridge two very different worlds—his traditional Tamil Sri Lankan family and his Queer/Trans chosen family—and bring them together in celebration and love. To T Or Not To T? That is the question. Come for an answer…and a laugh.
"Relentlessly energetic. D'Lo is exuberant, warm, and lovable [...] as he describes the heartbreaks and victories on the road to knowing himself." — Stage Raw
