Mama's Boy (Workshop Reading)

Jesse Denton, a trans man, left his family, their compound, and the family curse behind 10 years ago. But when his grandmother asks him to come home, Jesse and his family realize just how much he’s changed. A chance encounter with a teen runaway, Jesse’s transition, and the family’s curse all force them to reckon with what family means to them.

This is a staged reading of a new play by Charlie Probus. The audience is encouraged to provide feedback about the piece.
