Scott Turner Schofield is a man who was a woman, a lesbian turned straight guy who is often called a fag. Since 2001, Schofield’s three major works, “Underground Transit,” “Debutante Balls,” and “Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps” – as well as readings from his book, Two Truths and a Lie – have entertained feminists and fratboys, season subscribers and people who “don’t like theater” in big cities and small towns across the US. His performance work spreads empathy and education about gender identity and sexual orientation with shows that are as hilarious as they are touching, thought provoking, and beautifully performed. Almost entirely grassroots supported and the recipient of major mainstream honors, Schofield’s is a simple complexity: one that must be engaged to be fully understood.
