"Always Have Been" is an ethnodrama co-created by Michelle Yadon and Stephen Lewis. Lewis conducted interviews with five transgender men to capture their lived experiences. Using this secondary data, Yadon and Lewis crafted an ethnodrama to convey these narratives. This staged reading marks the play's premiere, performed by members of the NADTA. We invite you to join us and immerse yourself in these compelling stories. Following the performance, there will be a talk-back session allowing audience members to reflect on the play. Yadon and Lewis will also discuss the research process and future directions of the project.
