Plan-B's 20th Anniversary Season Opens With SHE WAS MY BROTHER

Plan-B Theatre launches its 2010/11 20th anniversary season with the regional premiere of Julie Jensen's SHE WAS MY BROTHER

Lamana (Joe Debevc, Plan-B's MIASMA) is a Zuni two-spirit, born a man but identifying as a woman and accepted as such within the tribe, recognized as a religious leader. Tullis (April Fossen, Plan-B's MIASMA, the last five SLAMs) and Wilson (Plan-B's FACING EAST, GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! and all five RADIO HOURs) are two Victorian anthropologists, conducting the first enthnographic study of the Zuni people.
These three lives connect in unexpected ways in this exploration of love, gender identity and cultural assumption. Based (loosely) on historical fact. Part of Transgender Awareness Month.

Joe Debevc, Jay Perry and April Fossen at the Zuni Pueblo in Zuni, New Mexico, the setting of SHE WAS MY BROTHER.
