WHEN YOU ARE HOME
thank you for being here
rayan gets top surgery in 10 days. the journey to getting here has been long, but it could have never happened without the help of their community. their story was built through the hands of their community and, to this day, to this very performance, will only ever continue being built. in a story of trans joy, fear, love, care, and more, WHEN YOU ARE HOME explores what it means to be in community, and what it means to find that "home". NOTE: WHEN YOU ARE HOME requires the use of audience participation through performance partnership and monetary donations.
