Performance art tends to be big on sex and gender issues, but Scott Turner Schofield breaks boundaries in Becoming a Man in 127 Easy Steps. A onetime debutante and homecoming princess, Schofield tells of his transformation from female to male.

"This is not like any story you've seen," says Schofield, 29, who identifies himself as transgender. "I will tell you stories that will blow your mind, or open your eyes, or make you laugh."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
