About the Show
- How To Be A Lesbian in 10 Days or Less is a hilarious coming out story for queers and non-queers alike. Motivational speaker and expert lesbian Butchy McDyke deftly guides her captive audience in an exploration of self-discovery and first love, coming out, lesbian sex, queer politics, and a really important Reba McEntire song as they learn to confidently shout, “I’m a big ‘ol dyke!” Writer and performer Leigh Hendrix weaves a story that is one part instructional seminar, one part personal story, and one part wacky performance art. At turns funny and poignant, silly and earnest, How To Be A Lesbian in 10 Days or Less is the perfect guide to gay for budding lesbians, no matter their sexual orientation!

About Leigh
- Leigh Hendrix is a theatre artist first introduced to performance, like many dramatically inclined girls and boys in South Carolina, through dance recitals and church musicals. Now based in Providence, RI, Leigh creates comedic and (sometimes too) personal solo performances and makes theatre as an actor, writer, and improviser with other artists of all shapes and sizes. Her solo performance piece How To Be A Lesbian in 10 Days or Less was developed at Emerson College and as a resident artist at Providence’s Perishable Theatre, receiving its regional premier at WAM Theatre’s O Solo Mama Mia Festival in the Berkshires. Leigh is also a founding member of the improv team The Trumans.

Press and News
- Preview of the one night only performance in Chicago on February 23rd at Mary's Attic
"When I heard this stand up/motivational piece was coming to Chicago I threw my fist in the air and screamed, “Damn you world! Where were you when I was young and too confused to even consider who I really was!”
O Solo Mama Mia Festival Review
The Vally Advocate by Chris Rhomman
"The magic of this show comes from its seamless marriage of pointed mockery with personal narrative, delivered by a witty and delightfully surprising performer."
Interview for List of Now
with internet maven Bonnie Cottle
Artists' Exchange Performance Review
Providence Phoenix by Bill Rodriguez
"She's telling her story, Hendrix says, so that we won't make one up for her. We are glad she did."
Review by Bonnie Cottle for List of Now
"The first thing that struck me about this compact, yet ambitious solo performance show was how nicely it teeters on the edge between camp and sincerity. Writer and performer Leigh Hendrix moves between characters effortlessly."
