“Identity, an inventive new play by Nicholas Linnehan, exemplifies the kind of keen theatrical adventure that can be had when a character drops pretense and starts to confide in the audience. It allows the audience to walk a mile in its leading character's shoes, and learn a bit of what it might be like to be a gay disabled Catholic.” - Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

Mike feels trapped and does not want to be boxed in so he entrusts a doctor to have his identity removed. Can this doctor’s procedure really help? An autobiographical tale of cerebral palsy, Catholicism, and homosexuality.

Featuring Timothy Connell, Nicholas Linnehan, Amy Lizka, and Matthew Tyler.

With costume design by Renee Salmieri, and Reuven Glezer is the assistant director. Graphic design by Tom Freda.
