Description

One year ago, Gara got top surgery. This decision caused a family schism. It also led to one mystical phone call with Gara’s all-American, midwestern Dad, leaving questions regarding his personal journey through queerness. A love letter to unique upbringings, self-discovery and devoted fathers. An hour of cinematic sensation from stand-up dance comedian Gara complete with musical numbers, dancing wrestlers and 80s camp. Welcome. Welcome to The Big Show.
