Just in time for Transgender Day of Remembrance (Nov. 20), the Wine Cellar Restaurant will be presenting the play “S/HE,” a new production written by Nick Mwaluko and directed by Nicole Stodard.

The show is being performed by Thinking Cap Theatre, a Fort Lauderdale-based theatre company devoted to experimental, socially-conscious work. Thinking Cap also aims to take traditional stories and recreate them to more accurately reflect them in today’s society by tearing up stereotypes and present works that have never before been presented on stage.

“S/HE” is about the journey of a man living in a woman’s body that is written to compel us to rethink our answers to some of the most basic questions about how humans identify themselves: are you a man, woman or both? How do we really know? “S/HE” is a term generally used to indicate a gender-neutral alternative to using “he” or “she.”

 The play will run for a limited engagement of six performances: Nov. 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, and 20. Dinner seating is at 7p.m. and the show will start at approximately 8:10 p.m.. Tickets are $32.50 (gratuity not included) and can be purchased online at www.smarttix.com or reservations can be made by calling (813) 220-1546.

Ticket prices include appetizer, entrée, dessert and performance. Seating is limited so reservations are recommended.

“S/HE” is part of Thinking Cap Production’s Plays with a Bite series, featuring vanguard drama and European cuisine at The Wine Cellar Restaurant, located at 199 E. Oakland Park Blvd., in Oakland Park.

The Wine Cellar Restaurant is now accepting reservations for Thanksgiving. Dinner includes appetizer, soup or salad plus the traditional Turkey dinner with all the fixings and dessert for $17.95
