Try This On For Me
An interactive play about the absurdity, angst, and euphoria of trying to dress ourselves.
Try This On For Me immerses its audience in a surreal flea market and leaves them with an unforgettable souvenir, hand-picked from the rooms vast inventory of clothes and accessories. Creator Lee LeBreton, together with co-writers Anooj Bhandari and Nicole Hill, share their real-life struggles to feel comfortable, legible, and desirable in their bodies and wardrobes. Try This On For Me offers its audience space to experiment with self-expression and, potentially, leave feeling more beautiful than when they arrived.
Try This On For Me premiered in May 2022 at Playwrights Downtown, produced by the New York Neo-Futurists.
