By MIKE DUNHAM

In his hour-long monologue, "Debutante Balls," Scott Turner Schofield recounts multiple rites of passage; his own experiences of "coming out" as gay and transgendered — he was born a girl and now lives as a man with assistance of medications — and the custom among southern gentry of presenting their daughters to polite society with extravagant parties. These are also described as "coming out," he notes.

"I've come out more times than should technically be allowed," he says, counting both revelations about himself and the formal tradition.
