Mr. Liz's One [wo] Man Show [Living in the In-Between]
A collection of well-known opera and musical theater pieces follows mezzo Liz Bouks journey as he tells the story of how he found his true voice just this past year. Its a story that includes an obsessive teenage crush on a Disney character and potty training in his 30s as he searches for himself.
Bouk, with the help of his friend playwright/librettist Bea Goodwin, curated a collection of his journal entries, photos, paintings, and memories for a theatrical one-man show. It was important to the creative team to create an artistic piece of healing that also challenges how gender roles confine us all.
Despite being told over and over that he is a girl, experiencing repeated panic attacks in women's dressing rooms, and struggling over & over through tears to express himself, Liz perseveres and recklessly creates: all the while discovering a pattern of unconventional gender roles in his own life. Only at the end of the show, when Liz stops pretending to be a woman, do we encounter the fullest expression of himself.
