Just saw on Facebook that Deen is leading a conversation about identity on Monday April 2 (also in Philly):
Queer Shame: A Conversation About Identity with Deen of DRAW THE CIRCLE
Public Event · By William Way LGBT Community Center
Join Deen, playwright and performer of DRAW THE CIRCLE, in conversation just days before his show opens as part of InterAct Theatre Company's OUTSIDE THE FRAME Festival.
Bring your open heart and a willingness to participate in this unique conversation about the liminal spaces we live in, and live from.
The evening will begin with an exploration of our own personal histories and struggles to deal with being told to be less than we are. We'll hear from Deen about the ways in which he was exiled from his Indian family and friends when he came out as queer, and then was challenged in the LGB community after he came out as transgender. He will speak about his experience in the Radical Faerie community and we'll conclude the night by sharing the ways we have been limited by other people's expectations, and we will strive to break those boxes, to feel our loveliness, our beauty, our strength together in community.
