DADDY
DADDY is a queer love story set against the backdrop of the American West, weaving together past and present to explore transmasculine pregnancy, intimacy, and family-making. Following Levi, a trans man, and Cassidy, a nonbinary fag, the play moves fluidly between timelines—reimagining the West as a place of tenderness, transformation, and deep-rooted queer histories. Through design-driven performance and emerging media, DADDY challenges traditional narratives of masculinity and centers the radical joy of trans parenthood.
