"The Book That Won't Close - Confessions of A Love Addict", written and performed by Deaf Performer TL Forsberg.
The show follows a bi-culturally fluid Deaf woman through a series of bad relationships, until she meets a transgender coach who walks her through a self contained rehab for love addiction to confront her unhealed trauma and shame around the parts of her that are both hearing and Deaf. Through her unique relationship with Treva, a trans person who embraces both masculine and feminine, the protagonist learns to claim her place as an brilliant Hybrid on the path of healing and integration.
The show is a dark comedy that includes signed music, dance and video projections in an way that is not only inspirational but is "edu-taining."
"The Book That Won't Close" is directed and developed by award winning director Jessica Lynn Johnson and is inclusive and accessible to both hearing and Deaf audiences.
Q&A and small reception to follow.
All parking meters free on Sunday or can valet for $8 at Augustine wine bar.
