An Evening With Jennifer Finney Boylan
Written and performed by Jennifer Finney Boylan
Directed by Lynne Conner

Strider Theater
This performance is part of the Metamorphoses Project, a web of programming and course work engaging the Colby and Waterville communities around the theme of myth and its ongoing importance in contemporary life.
Colby Professor, memoirist, musician, and raconteur Jennifer Finney Boylan is the author of ten books, including She's Not There, the first bestselling work by a transgender American. In her new one-woman show, The Porcupine Woman, Jenny combines old and new stories with original songs for both classical and barrelhouse piano as well as electric autoharp. The songs are connected by a story cycle that examines Jenny's "life in two genders," celebrates the redeeming powers of love and family, and tells the story of her comic and tragic adventures with a porcupine, a ventriloquist, and a room of secret panels.
