F*cking Trans Women is the beginning of the conversation.

Based on the zine by the same name, this solo-performance circles the ideas and stories of two different trans women trying to navigate intimacy and hot fucking sex with bodies that don't fit the norm.
Tickets range from $10 to $20. Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8 p.m.
Location: BusStopTheatre
