Johnson plays 15 different characters in this solo dramedy exploring gender construction, sexuality and spirituality along with a number of other issues facing the LGBTQ community. The show centers on Tessa, a 30-year-old virgin in love with her transgender best friend, in turmoil over her feelings due to her religious upbringing.
