I Am My Own Wife

Doug Wright's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, I Am My Own Wife, returns to the Cincinnati Playhouse. This one-person show explores the true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an openly trans woman who navigated life in East Berlin under both Nazi and Communist regimes, collecting furniture and operating a museum. It's a powerful piece of biographical theater, known for its intricate storytelling and the performer's demanding task of portraying over 30 characters. This production runs on Saturday, March 13, 2027, at the Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre within the Cincinnati Playhouse In The Park. The Shelterhouse is an intimate space, well-suited for a nuanced, character-driven narrative like this. It's a compelling evening for those interested in historical drama, identity, and exceptional solo performances.
