It is parents\u2019 weekend of Parker\u2019s freshman year, but Parker\u2019s very famous parents aren\u2019t coming\u2014which, trust him, is just as well. Confrontations both painfully funny and deeply poignant are sparked when Althea and Clarence show up uninvited, as Parker\u2019s new sexual identity is put to the test, and as the family must grapple with the difficult choices of the child they love.<\/em><\/p>\n

From February 16 through 19, MHC Undergraduate Fellow Bell Gellis<\/strong>\u00a0will present a production of Patricia Wettig’s play\u00a0F2M<\/em>\u00a0live in the Cyrus Pavilion Theatre on the University of Maine campus.\u00a0F2M<\/em> is a dark comedy following the life of Parker as he navigates parents weekend when his not so accepting parents show up on a surprise visit.<\/p>\n

The production is a portion of Gellis’s MHC project, which asks, \u201cIs Our Perception of Transphobia Blurred When We Are Confronted With It in a Familial Context?\u201d Supervised by Rosalie Purvis, assistant professor of theatre and English, Gellis’s work interrogates anti-trans-bias, as well as other prejudices and biases, to explore perceptions of transphobia across generations, gender, political affiliation and religion.<\/p>\n

Performances will take place on February 16, 17, and 18 at 7:30 pm, with 2:00 pm matinees on February 18 and 19.<\/p>\n
