Dubbed "charming," "eloquent" and "compelling" by theater critics, Chicago performance artist Rebecca Kling uses the stage to reflect on her life as a transgendered woman.
Her one-woman show, "No Gender Left Behind," is a mix of personal narratives -- hers and others -- along with video and movement pieces. The idea for the show began, she said, when she was fired from a subcontracted teaching job at the Neal Math and Science Academy in North Chicago "for being transgendered."
