[NEohioPAL] Christine Howey performs at CPT

[Christine Howey]

> Christine Howey, longtime theater critic (Cleveland Scene, The Plain  
> Dealer, Rave and Pan) and former actor and director, will perform a  
> one-person show that she wrote, "Like a Doberman on a Quarter  
> Pounder," during the opening weekend of Big Box at Cleveland Public  
> Theatre, Jan. 17-19. Her one-hour piece, directed by Scott Plate,  
> consists of poems, monologues and dialogues touching on the human  
> condition.
>
> Join Howey as she wonders what Beowulf had for breakfast, how it  
> feels to be in forbidden love and the challenges of immortality.  
> However, social commentary turns to the personal when Howey shares  
> her journey from Richard to Christine. Beginning in 1950 as a boy  
> wanting to be a girl and concluding in adulthood, the piece explores  
> the pain, confusion and joy of seeking a gender that does not match  
> one's body.
>
> Howey's work will appear on a double-bill with "Free Radical and the  
> Late Night Sketchbook Part 2: The Wedding," conceived and directed  
> by Pandora Robertson. This show asks, "Are we remembered by what we  
> confess or by the fanciful narratives we create?" And it explores  
> the boundary between what we think is the truth and what we want the  
> truth to be.
