ABOUT
MISSION STATEMENT
The Genderality Show exists to foster connection, empathy, and understanding within the trans community and with general public audiences — creating opportunities for people to connect, learn, and see one another in new ways.
We believe live performance has a unique power: it doesn't just inform an audience, it moves them. Through comedy, music, drag, and experimental theatre/dance, we give trans and gender-diverse artists a stage to share their talent and, if they choose, their lived experience — on their own terms.
For performers, it's sometimes an opportunity to be seen fully. For audiences, it's an invitation to witness the creativity and diversity of the gender spectrum up close, often for the first time.
Rooted in Victoria, British Columbia, and produced by Transgender Stage Productions Inc. The Genderality Show is building Canada's premier stage platform for trans and gender-diverse representation in community performing arts. Every ticket sold and every dollar of sponsorship helps make that stage more accessible — through pay-what-you-want pricing and reserved $15 seats for youth and equity-seeking communities — so that connection and understanding stay open to everyone, regardless of what they can pay.
This is a space where authenticity and artistry thrive, where performers are seen, heard, and valued — and where the wider public leaves with a little more empathy and understanding than they came with.


ABOUT THE SHOWS
The Genderality Show is proudly produced by Transgender Stage Productions Inc., a local stage production company in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The wonderful Belfry Theatre venue has been booked for another 'one-night only' variety stage show on Saturday January 23 2027. The winter performance show is presented by the Genderality Show & Local Business Allyship!
The Genderality Show is becoming Canada‘s premier dedicated stage platform for trans/gender-diverse representation in the Community Performing Arts ecosphere.
The Genderality Show draws awareness and support to Canadian emerging artists and professional touring stage performers. The intention is to provide an outstanding stage for trans/gender-diverse performing artists to showcase their talents... and have an opportunity to provide motivational and insightful presentations of trans lived experiences if they so choose!
Live stage representation of people from the diverse gender spectrum allows general public audiences the unique opportunity to see and experience both the creativity in the Performing Arts and wonderful diversity in genderality.
MEET THE PRODUCER
Hello and welcome to all!
I was born in the early 1950's and grew up in Victoria BC CANADA, where I still reside. I lived through times of great social change and personal discovery. Later in life, I embraced my truth and began living authentically as a transgender woman. My journey has deepened my understanding of resilience, compassion, and the importance of visibility.
I invite audiences of all backgrounds to see and better understand the trans/gender-diverse experience through creative storytelling and performance.
Through this project, I aim to create spaces where authenticity and artistry thrive, and where every performer can be seen, heard, and valued.
Please join us for an unforgettable experience that celebrates both the creativity in live performing arts and the diversity inherent in Genderality.
