As a transgendered man and performer, Deen has used drama to process the great changes and challenges that have happened in is life. The most important thing about his work is its ability to connect to other people who have struggled with their own identities, Deen told participants in a pre-play discussion at the Warner Bentley Theater on Tuesday.
