Stage West Theatre presents Hir

In Hir, Isaac arrives at his childhood home after a war to discover that his once-timid mother is on a whirlwind crusade to subvert the patriarchy, his sister is now his genderqueer brother who refers to hirself in gender-neutral pronouns, and his stroke-ridden father slumps on the couch in a muumuu and clown makeup. As Isaac attempts to reclaim structure in a household that refuses to be tamed, the family is forced to confront what it is to live in a new world when one is stuck in the past. The play will run at Stage West Theatre through June 17.
