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).
