The T Party

Hosted by: Company One Theatre

“The party to redefine all parties is coming to Boston — and you’re invited. Shake things up. Bend the rules. Break the binary. Through an exhilarating series of scenes that blur the line between audience and actors, real stories and fantastical satire, THE T PARTY casts an exuberant, kinky, and surprisingly tender look at gender expression and sexuality. This wild mash-up of a performance will sweep you off your feet and take you for a ride. The only house rule? Leave your expectations at the door.” — Company One Theatre

When: 8 p.m.

Where: Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at The Boston Center For The Arts, 527 Tremont St., Boston
