Your Carriage Awaits...

Bequeathed is a surreal, playful, semi-autobiographical puppet show about the fight to unravel the gender binary, all told through a fantastical fiber arts world.

A young person, questioning their assigned gender identity, receives an unusual gift of an embroidery hoop on their birthday. The hoop acts as a portal, and the young person is swooped up into a Georgian/Regency era world of strict gender roles, and sewing notions. Through a series of trials and tribulations, the young person struggles to perform the ideal view of womanhood. Ultimately they see what's behind the embroidery hoop - a sparkly and wonderful fluidity.

The limited premiere run is June 24th-26th at 7:30PM and June 27th at 2PM at Dixon Place at 161A Chrystie St, in the Lower East Side. Tickets are priced $30-$35. Tickets can be purchased at the Dixon Place website. A limited number of access tickets are available with the code ALLSKATE.

The cast will feature Aaron Banes , Ray Dondero, Dorothy James , and Esme Roszel. The creative team includes Aaron Banes , Taryn Uhe, Ashley Soliman , Muna Muhsin, Andy Manjuck, Christopher Williams , Jon Riddleberger , William PK Carter, and William Wright .
