"Scott Turner Schofield's storytelling is so honest, his approach so
unique, his style so unselfconscious and disarming, that his shows will
have you wrapped around his pinkie in no time. I've seen this Southern
gent win over the most jaded of New York theater audiences with one wry
smile and a perfectly placed raised eyebrow. He's the real thing - and
nothing less than a national treasure." ?? T Cooper, bestselling author
of Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes and Some of the Parts
"A provocative and compelling storyteller, Turner helps us to look at
gender in a new way, face our prejudices, and have fun while doing it."
?? Amy Ray, Indigo Girls
Hey, and if you have friends in the following places, thank you in
advance for spreading the word!
January 25-26 at the Carnival Center, Miami FL. www.tigertail.org
March 27-30 at Out North, Anchorage AK. www.outnorth.org
Here's wishing y'all the very best year possible. Thank you so much for
being such important people in my world with all of your support. At
times when even gays and lesbians reject transgender inclusion--as with
the recent stripping of gender identity from the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act (find out more at
http://www.thetaskforce.org/enda07/enda07.html) -- it's so good to know
that lots of people like you won't ever stop me from doing my job just
because of my gender expression.
Yours with great thanks and big love,

> 2) My New Book!
Two Truths and a Lie
A Memoir Written and Performed by Scott Turner Schofield
ISBN-10: 0-9785973-2-X
ISBN-13: 978-0-9785973-2-0
Price: U.S.$15.00 pre-order from the publisher by January 15th and get
your copy for just $10 plus s&h! www.homofactuspress.com
Homofactus Press proudly announces Two Truths and a Lie, a memoir in
the form of three solo plays written and performed by critically
acclaimed solo artist Scott Turner Schofield. From inside the often
hilarious??but all too real??moments of his young life on the Homecoming
Court and Debutante Ball circuit (in a dress), armed with only a
decoder ring and a gifted tongue, Schofield comes out with truly
unbelievable stories of a body in search of an identity. By turns
slapstick and slap-to-the-face, this drama invites audiences and
readers to explore gender, sex, sexuality, and self in their own first
person.
"I am completely mad for Scott Turner Schofield. He is a thrilling,
compelling, and downright charming writer and performance artist. And
handsome. Did I mention handsome? And smart. Buy this book. Read it." -
Kate Bornstein, author of Hello Cruel World.
Two Truths and a Lie is the latest work from Homofactus Press, a
publishing house dedicated to work by and for trans and genderqueer
men. Publisher Jay Sennett is thrilled with Schofield's book: ?°Scott is
both a torchbearer for a rich tradition of queer theater and a catalyst
for new work that uniquely describes transmasculine experiences.?±
Schofield: "I write my shows with my family in mind: my family who
doesn't share and doesn't really understand my transgender and queer
identities, but who love me and would rather hear a story than a
lecture. I hope that my readers--audiences I may never look in the
eye--find something in my book to add to their understanding of the
transgender experience, and even better, to their own experiences of
their genders, too."
