If there are any tickets left, get yourself to Trannequin! at the Yale Cabaret, a show that not only interrogates gender identity and trans-gendered experiences—by way of a plucky little mannequin named Georgia (Marissa Leitling) who might rather be George, or maybe just G—but does it with wonderfully funny songs and scenes.

There's a coming-of-age narrative that includes backstory such as Georgia's training in a repressive mannequin school run by the uptight and exacting Mrs. Wood (Emily Reilly), and a flirtation with lesbian-longings in the peppy song 'Girlfriends'—or is fellow student Jenny (friskily enacted by Monique Bernadette Barbee) just having a girl-crush? But the main problem is Georgia's longing to dress like a man.
