International Human Rights Art Festival Theatre: A Queer Christmas Delusion, by Mx. JP Anne Giera Mx. JP Anne Giera

About This Show

Mx. JP Anne Giera presents Blanche On A Winter’s Eve, a queer Christmas delusion for one performer. After a heavenly vision appears to our anti-hero, the world of America’s favorite ‘Golden Girl’, Blanche Devereaux, and the artist’s autobiographical reality become entwined as the search for amazing sex, self-acceptance, and identity drive the story forward.  Part comedy, part Golden Girls homage, part auto-ethnography, Blanche On A Winter’s Eve is a unique evening of theatre.  The piece deals with addiction, sexual validation, and the harsh reality that J.P. is not actually Rue McClanahan.  Additionally, as a gender non-conforming individual, it provides visibility where there might not otherwise be.  Contrary to popular belief, there isn’t a lot work out there for a trans non-binary femme with addiction issues who also holds an MFA in Acting. Based Upon the Production Presented by the United Solo Theatre Festival, November 2016. Production Direction and Sound Design Concept by Danny Gorman.
