Scott Turner Schofield-- Two Truths & a Lie
Thursday, March 13, 7:30-9:00pm
Please join us in welcoming Atlanta-based performance artist Scott Turner Schofield to celebrate the release of his new book, Two Truths and a Lie. Two Truths and a Lie is a memoir in the form of three solo plays written and performed by Scott Turner Schofield. From inside the often hilarious-but all too real-moments of his young life on the Homecoming Court and Debutante Ball circuit (in a dress), through a closet of suits to find one that fits, Schofield comes out with truly unbelievable stories of a body in search of an identity. By turns slapstick and slap-to-the-face, this drama invites audiences and readers to explore gender, sex, sexuality, and self in their own first person. Come see Turner perform excerpts of his memoir, then stick around for the Q & A and book-signing.
