S. Bear Bergman understands family—original, chosen, and a hearty blend of the two. Bergman joins us to perform stories about the lives of his grandparents, his Shabbat table, the hilarity of planning his wedding, and the survival story of Chanukah set against Trans Day of Remembrance. He also makes space for those complex relationships for which we must create our own names—drag mothers, step-parents emeritus, your sperm donor’s parents and other queerly-related loved ones—all redefining the notion of what family is and can be.
