Today is the opening of Rose: You Are Who You Eat at Woolly Mammoth in DC. I am so proud of my partner in crime @johnjarbeaux for this gorgeous work. We have come a long way from our scrappy roots (see last two photos, circa 2010) and now get to spread our wings as our full selves, here on the day of DC Pride, with a vulnerable jewel of a show. To quote the piece, to see a piece of myself in you, and love you, makes me love me more. The feedback loop of love and acceptance is what every kid (and grownup) deserves. Come see this piece, come and get your love. #loveislove #gloveisglove #dctheatre #transpride @woollymammothtc photo credit on first 3 pics @christopherash1 , photo credit on last two my mommy @marileetuomanen Shoutout to the team @_emilybate_ @beardedladiescabaret @dejesuscello @mel.kass.vasio @paxressler @christopherash1 @mcgeesmagic @taylorjedlinski Yifan Huang @jeccabarry @costume_gnome

@woollymammothtc , @cultural_dc , and @washblade Present... 🎭 A True Story of Gender Feasting, Set to Music 🌹 ROSE: YOU ARE WHO YOU EAT (in association with @beardedladiescabaret and a Rolling Theatrical World Premiere with @lamamaetc and @fringearts ) Concieved, Written, and Performed by @johnjarbeaux Directed by @m.tuomanen June 5 - 23 Once upon a vine, John Jarboe’s aunt revealed that John not only had a twin sister in the womb, but that John consumed her: “You ate her. That’s why you are the way you are.” This was a lot for John to swallow! In this musical shrine to the consumed twin, named Rose, John welcomes you into a feast of gender through song, storytelling, and a full plate of wordplay. 👄🍴 Learn more at woollymammoth.net! 👀🎟️ #WoollyROSE

Excited to map uncharted territory with folks in this seminar. If you have a solo show in you that needs a kickstart, this is a fun place to rev it up. #playwriting #soloperformance #letsgetweird Repost from @pwcenter • What are the ways a story can be wrapped around one performer? What happens when that performer is you? In this seminar, MK Tuomanen wants to examine works of solo performance. Students are encouraged to confront themselves playfully, writing from a place of honesty and vulnerability that celebrates experimentation and encourages bold artistic gestures. Click the link in the bio to sign up! This is an online class which will take place on zoom. Monday, April 1st at 6:30pm Central Time.

Back home after a beautiful time in nyc under the hospitality of @lamamaetc — what a unique way to exist in such a wild town, in this oasis of coziness above the theatre. Felt like an experience outside of time — got to see the incredible @sistersylvester show The Eagle and the Tortoise, meet old friends (@dctrshw , @ramshackleenterprises ) and new ones (who aren’t on instragram, bless el beh), and at the end of the day, climb those long La Mama stairs to bedtime. Grateful for the sweetness and slowness in the midst of a sleepless city. Excited to bring @roseeatme to DC in June (listen to last slide for the sweet sweet voices of the Rose cast). #utrfestival #lamama
