Tales"
Carole and Gordon Mallett Theatre, Yeu-Kong Pao Hall -

histories from Black gay men. The performance covers the

transgenderism, love stories and coming out. The show tells of
Chaz, a transgendered person who lives as a man on Sunday so he
can sing in the church choir but lives as a woman during the
week; then there is Larry, whose early years of sexual
exploration are humorous and disturbing. Johnson embodies these
and other stories in the show.
