Consider the Oyster features Gene, who, after watching his favorite team win the Super Bowl, spontaneously proposes to his longtime girlfriend, Marisa. In the midst of the excitement, he breaks his leg. A doctor places an oyster shell in Gene鈥檚 leg to aid in healing; however, the oyster shell sets off a chain reaction of feminine changes in Gene鈥檚 physicality, hormones and emotions. Gender identity and humor explode on stage in this comical, yet thought-provoking, play.
