Claire Lochmueller presents CRACKS, a one-trans-woman dark comedy memoir about growing up in the Catholic Church and a JROTC military high school and the pervasive ways those places affect a trans identity. CRACKS is as vulnerable as it is funny. Through a hybrid of storytelling, stand-up, and theatre the audience is taken on an emotional roller coaster of navigating gender identity, substance abuse, and finding joy. Come see how her two lives, through laughter and tears, became one trans identity.
"It’s worth witnessing. In fact, it’s one of the most accomplished Fringe pieces I’ve seen in a few years. Claire Lochmueller has created a beautiful, effective story that allows the audience a better understanding of the trans experience... If you’re going to catch one solo show in this year’s festival, this is it."
