Based on his true life story of being born in the wrong body, writer/performer Quinn Alexander Fontaine's insightful, heartwarming, hilarious show is a celebration of healing. Healing the little boy inside who couldn't wear the clothes he wanted to because he was born a girl. Being a prisoner in his own body for decades. Sneaking clever ways to feed his soul like the rolled up sock in "tighty whities" worn under girl's clothes. Healing the trauma of denying his authentic self and then healing through the transition to becoming the man he can finally be as an adult. 

"It's never too late to be your authentic self. Everyone needs to follow their true path in life. What makes it challenging is when you're expected to conform to cultural expectations," says Fontaine. Fontaine's show is a shining example of overcoming cultural norms, childhood sexual abuse, multiple addictions, and living his truth as a man every single day of his life. Filled with laughter and touching realizations, the show reveals the layers of his ultimate transformation.

“Quinn's journey is the epitome of authenticity. May all who experience his work be encouraged, emboldened, and emancipated from bondage into the freedom of their Essential Self."
-Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Spiritual Liberation and Life Visioning

Audiences have commended and celebrated Fontaine's bold fearlessness. "I have known and respected Quinn Fontaine for some time now and have been incredibly moved and impressed by his raw honesty, his humor and courage, both as a writer and as a performer. I have learned a tremendous amount from him and recommend highly that we all attend his performances to understand and honor the journey that he and so many are undertaking," adds actress, model, and animal activist Ali MacGraw.
