About This Show

oz is tired of Men. the most reasonable conclusion is to become God. bear witness to him descend into madness as he dives into the horrors of dating, the ethics of parenthood, and the allure of creation. a Frankenstein-esque, transmasculine tale on hating men, being a man, and becoming a man.

Cesario Tirado-Ortiz is a playwright, actor, singer, producer, and exhausted barista. Rio bases most of his work around creating queer stories for queer folk that’s not really about being queer, as seen in his hit horror play “it’s been ten years since everyone died.” Its work has been seen at The Tank, The Rat, Open Space Arts, and various gay bars around New York City. He is a proud member of the Dramatist’s Guild and Ring of Keys.
