By Noah Diaz Directed by Kat Yen A surprising story about parenthood, family and future dreams. Young married couple Ty and Nora are preparing to move into Ty’s childhood home to start a family. While they are busy choosing paint colors, lamps and throw pillows, they learn that Nora is unable to carry the child they so desperately want. So Ty, a trans man, makes the decision to carry the baby himself. Ty and Nora’s preparations for parenthood begin to crumble when three mysterious men from Ty’s past inexplicably begin appearing in their new home. Who are they? Are they here to help with renovations like they say… or something else? Noah Diaz’s rich, multi-layered, magical drama is full of shrewd insights, humor and emotional depth. This rewarding world premiere examines what it means to feel “at home” – in our families, in our marriages, in our houses, and in our own bodies. Helmed by the Playhouse’s recent Directing Fellow Kat Yen, "All The Men Who’ve Frightened Me" is the 12th play to make the jump from our DNA New Work Series to the main stage. Expect the unexpected in this wildly surprising family story with a huge heart. Visit: lajollaplayhouse.org/show/all-the-men-whove-frightened-me/ La Jolla Playhouse on Facebook / Instagram
