Teresa Lotz’s ‘She Calls Me Firefly’ Centers on a Gay Man’s Mental Health and PTSD
By: Karl Saint Lucy
Teresa Lotz’s affecting immersive play She Calls Me Firefly explodes a moment in which a young gay man’s unresolved childhood trauma comes into contact with a mother’s ungrieved loss late one night at a Kentucky gay bar. The piece ran at The Huron Club at The Soho Playhouse through Pride Month and was co-produced by Parity Productions, whose mission is to fill “at least 50% of the creative roles on [its] productions… with women and/or trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) artists;” and New Perspectives Theatre Company, “dedicated to using theatre as an agent for positive social change.”
