The Alaska premiere of a story about identity, authenticity and compassion. Two voices—Hannah before and Hannah after—share the journey of a sole transgender protagonist as she strives to reconcile the discord between herself and the outside world. With empathy and humor, we experience Hannah’s youthful challenges in a small town, her struggles with family, her discovery of the larger trans community, and her inspiring quest to find her one true self. Based in part on the life of acclaimed filmmaker Kimberly Reed, As One’s rich libretto and evocative melodies make for an unforgettable theater experience.
