Summer 2026
Z Space’s Steindler Stage

From acclaimed memoirist P. Carl, BECOMING A MAN is a play about one man’s gender transition amid a pivotal political moment in America.

For fifty years, P. Carl lived as a girl and then a queer woman, building a career and a loving marriage while waiting to realize himself in full. When he decides to affirm his gender, his transition puts everything—family, career, friendships—at stake.

Following a world premiere production at American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University, P. Carl’s acclaimed story about the courage—and the community—we need to become ourselves comes to life in its West Coast premiere at Z Space.
