About This Show
Clearly Marked is a hilarious, high-impact, thought-provoking theater piece that peels back the layers of the labels we all wear and digs in to what’s underneath. As Bergman’s signature warm and accessible storytelling begins to unfold on the stage, lines between categories start to blur and old labels start to have new lives. Also unique is the loving examination of Jewish tradition and community which Bergman – an observant Jew – brings to the stage. Fearless as ever, with Clearly Marked Bergman grapples with religion, body image, gender, sexuality, and the perennial bathroom problem – not to mention life as the Little Jewish Ambassador, how gender is like a highway, being a fat kid, strategic lesbianism, gay marriage, and how to explain it all to your Aunt Petunia in a way that doesn’t completely freak her out. No matter what label you wear when you arrive, Clearly Marked will send you home feeling both different from and connected to everyone around you – and you’ll like the feeling.
Appropriate For Ages: 12 +
