  • Beyond The Binary: Eight Non-Binary Plays- A Celebration of the Playwrights

    Beyond The Binary: Eight Non-Binary Plays- A Celebration of the Playwrights
    Jun 13 2025
    In season 2 episode 8, Mark-Eugene and Dylan spotlight two favorite non-binary playwrights, then introduce a panel celebrating the groundbreaking anthology Beyond the Binary: Eight Non-Binary Plays. Though non-binary voices have a rich theatrical history, they’re still underrepresented on today’s stages. Beyond the Binary shifts that narrative with short plays exploring identity at the intersections of race, religion, class, politics, and pop culture. From Joan of Arc to talking toys, New York apartments to family bonds—these works capture the breadth of non-binary experience and joy. Featuring: Jonathan Alexandratos, M Sloth Levine, Dani Martineck, J.C. Pankratz, and Ashley Lauren Rogers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
