| A gutsy transgender one-person theatre, magical animation, multimedia, comedy & movement show. This morning I lost my homework and the dog ate my gender. Other-wise is a letter to Sunny Drake’s family come to life on stage, exposing his emotions and experiences as a transgender person.

As funny as it is moving, Other-wise is a testament to the courage it takes to be true to oneself.
