Trail Arts Council presents Candice Roberts’ LARRY, one dude’s journey into the feminine, on Friday, February 3rd at 7:30 pm in The Bailey Theatre.
Award-winning Canadian Clown Artist Candice Roberts assumes her alter ego in this daring, smart, and gut-busting portrait of a small-town Canadian dude’s hilarious attempt at self-improvement. With rock and roll and a little life-coaching, Larry tries to prove that he’s worthy of a good woman, can quit drinkin’ and even take up “medertation” as he delves into his psyche and uncovers a little more than anyone expected.
Culled lovingly from the male archetypes that surrounded her during her upbringing, LARRY helps Candice compassionately examine the limitations of the gender binary, aging as a woman in society, and the complexities of being human.
