About

"Then & Now is an original queer sci-fi time traveling story about trans and nonbinary identities, highlighting the struggle to find oneself and the courage to come out"

Genres: Sci-Fi, Comedy, Drama, Experimental, Queer

Topics include: gender identity, mental dissociation, philosophy(specifically Nietzsche), meeting your hero, regret, gender dysphoria, alienation, abstract thought, representation, seeking help, indecision

The primary moral opposition is between living courageously/authentically vs. living fearfully/ reservedly.

Central Questions being Explored are:

Should we make decisions based on what we want to run away from or run toward?
What does it take for us to choose ourselves?/What motivates courage?
Does suffering in silence make us weaker or stronger?
How does feeling seen impact our identities?

Our Goal:

To expose more people to the trans and nonbinary experience as well as provide catharsis and celebration to those of that community. It explores the unique and twisted landscape that queer people learn to navigate to find self acceptance and celebrates oddity, eccentricity, and authenticity.

We Are:

Grant funded independent production started by a student at CSUF
Funded by the CSUF Undergraduate Research Opportunity Center (UROC)
The team is comprised primarily of CSUF theatre majors (also includes different majors, alum, and students from other universities)
Taking place in Orange County, CA
