I AM MY OWN WIFE Plays Final Weekend At BoHo

By:

It's your final chance to share a provocative evening with one wonderful actor in the Jeff-Recommended production of BoHo's I Am My Own Wife. Plus, we're now having a performance on Sunday, February 14th!

We're very proud here at BoHo of this show, and we'd love for you to come out and see it!

Either go to www.bohotheatre.com to purchase tickets or call 866-811-4111 for this terrific show running Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00, and Sundays at 2:00 until Saturday, February 14 (extended 1 day).

A little about the show:

Charlotte von Mahlsdorf was a 60-something transvestite who had survived both the Nazis and Communists, two very conformist regimes. At the time, she was living in a rural suburb, passing her senior years tending to an impressive hoard of 1890s collectibles, and leading tours through her stone mansion that doubled as a museum.

I Am My Own Wife tells of author Doug Wright's fascination with von Mahlsdorf. Born Lothar Berfelde, in 1928, Charlotte identified while still a teenager as a female spirit trapped in a male body, and openly cross-dressed most of her life. The first night that he met Charlotte, he realized that her story merited a play.

Guest artist, Actor's Equity actor, and BoHo Company member Peter Robel portrays more than 40 characters in a work that explores the will to survive.

BoHo is thrilled to present this extraordinary work, and is excited for audiences to witness the splendid work of Peter Robel in a role unlike any other in modern theatre. Both challenging and mesmerizing, the characters in I Am My Own Wife are ones to be remembered long after the stage lights fade.

So, either go to www.bohotheatre.com to purchase tickets or call 866-811-4111 for this terrific show running Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00, and Sundays at 2:00 until Saturday, February 14 (extended 1 day).
