"Sparked by a crucial encounter in the playwright's life," press notes state, "this powerful solo performance - a modern fairytale and theatrical fantasy - follows a suicidal teen as he is transformed by his choice of self-acceptance and life.  Our Lady is not only a play, but a call to action.  The story honors the LGBTQ youth that have turned to suicide as an answer to unjust societal pressures."

"I made up the Monster in this story from a monster in my real life. He was my Dad. He saw pictures of me online in a dress, and everything changed in one phone call,” said author-performer Fluhr in a statement. “Now that I look back on it, I felt that a simple dress made someone not love me. I had no choice but to pick up the weapon used against me to fight for a way to love myself. I couldn't be happier with the reactions to the piece."
