Something in the Water 

A solo show of comedic and compelling proportions is on stage this weekend at the Mini-Rogue in Something in the Water. Scantily Glad has brought a solo show discussing gender-dysphoria through the lens of superheroes and barbies, normal-date behaviors and not-normal-date behaviors, as well as some amazing squid-work. The life and mind of Grumms is given brave, vulnerable exploration through the battle of how to live as a monster versus becoming a hero versus someone who just wants to function through life without judgment or stereotype thrust upon them. What Grumms does so well is make this highly-sensitive, very-relevant discussion digestible for those who may be going through the same exploration and transformation, as well for those who are completely unaware or ignorant of the topic. The integrity of solo-show theatre is kept steadfast throughout the performance, but the message is never diluted or lost in genre; gender identity is a social, human construct and is constantly being re-examined and re-defined. That’s how human existence works, that’s how humans operate. That’s normal. You can catch Grumms’ final Mini-Rogue performance at 6pm today.
