Based on the true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transgender woman, I Am My Own Wife follows her extraordinary life in 20th-century Germany. From surviving the rise of the Nazi regime to living under East Germany's Communist government, Charlotte builds a life on her own terms while preserving a collection of German antiques that becomes a testament to a vanished world. As her story unfolds, Doug Wright 's acclaimed drama explores the complicated relationship between identity, memory, survival, and truth.

When asked what inspired Theatre Three to choose this production for their 2026-27 Season, Artistic Director Jeffrey Schmidt responded, “First and foremost, it's just a great piece of theater, especially when performed by such an accomplished actor as Blake Hackler . Add to that a director like Garret Storms whose attention to detail and refined storytelling is unmatched and you have a thrilling night of live performance. Also, it's been a while since T3 has produced and celebrated Doug Wright who spent some of his early career at T3.”
