THEATER: DeliaDelia!

Amando Houser NYC comedian who is “particularly funny” (Vulture) and “not normal at all” (Philippe Gaulier) invites you to an unhinged clown hour of self discovery.

Inspired by the “witch hunt” on trans rights in the United States, DeliaDelia is a flat-chested witch from the swamps who happens to be as nasty on the eyes as she is on the basketball court. On a quest to become a “real girl” and join a human basketball team, will she finally get her shot at greatness, or will she be cursed forever and turned into a serpent? Directed by Kedian Keohan.
