23 and You and You and Me
For one weekend, a reading of the musical 23 and You and You and Me will be showing at DOMA Arts Complex.
What if everything you thought about yourself, your family, and your history…turned out not to be true?
A semi-autobiographical, comedic musical based on a true story of a woman discovering that her father was not, in fact, her father through genetic testing. We’re entering a new era of transparency, in which long-held secrets are being upended every day. While DNA might inform us and change the past as we know it, only we get to decide who and what we’ll be in the world.
