Proud Theater, in conjunction with Trinity United Methodist Church present, a benefit performance of “Imperfect Gentlemen,” a one-person show about how a family reacts when their father comes out as transgender.
The performance will be held at 7:30 pm on Saturday August 25 at Trinity United Methodist Church, 1123 Vilas Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin. Tickets will be available at the door for a suggested donation of $15. All proceeds will benefit Proud Theater.
“Imperfect Gentlemen” is a one person production created by Ben Moffat and Bradley Wayne Smith. All the characters in the production are performed by Moffat as he tells his family story regarding his father coming out as transgender in the early 1980s. The show explores how Moffat and different family members react to the change, the forces that shape our identities, and the plasticity and durability of personality.
Ben Moffat is a storyteller, actor, clown, puppeteer, stilt-walker and whatever else the job entails. He splits his time between Hawaii and Southwest Wisconsin where his ancestors settled in the 1830s. He has performed nationally and internationally on his own and with Monkey Waterfall, a dance-theatre company he co-founded in Hawaii.
Bradley Wayne Smith lives in London with his wife Filipa Tomas. Their company, Single Shoe Productions combines visual storytelling, physical comedy and a love for the absurd to create theatrical experiences that challenge boundaries, break down walls and explore the connections that hold us together.
