The Reviews Are In!

And they are great!  Be sure to click each link to check out the full review.
A great review in Gapers Block:
Trans Form was a powerful and educational experience that captivates on both theatrical and educational levels. The autobiographical nature of the story hits an emotional note that allows outsiders to shed their preconceptions on Transgender identities, and leave the theatre without any labels or stereotypes in mind- just a sensitivity and appreciation for the struggle that Rebecca Kling and others like her have survived.

We're also Recommended by NewCity Stage:
 ...when she is specific about her unique experiences (her parents’ reactions, taming the dreaded DMV bureaucracy) Kling’s story becomes accessible and enjoyable. And the journey, as difficult as it may be, comes to its only possible ending.

And from TimeOut Chicago:
There’s ample pop cultural discourse on promiscuous “trannies” (Kling’s word) and damaged souls caught in the wrong body (see Oprah), but Kling doesn’t want to tell these stories. Happily, she neither sells these narratives out nor denies them as she (innovatively) rewrites trans life as mundane.
What would you say about Trans Form?

 Trans Form runs through December 5. Tickets and more information are available here.
